Two Easy Ways to Make Prairie Points

Tuesday February 6, 2007
You've seen prairie points--those little folded triangles that are sometimes used around the edges of a quilt. There are a couple of traditional ways to make prairie points. The triangles look a little different depending on the method you use to make them, but both types are very easy to assemble. Try prairie points the next time you want a different look for your quilt edges.

I love the look of Prairie Points on a quilt, but I’ve never used them. We had a lady show our guild how to make them from a single strip of fabric. But, she talked so fast and didn’t explain it very well, so I would know where to start now. Have you ever heard of that method?
