Prairie Points

On this page are directions on how to create prairie points to decorate your sewing projects.

3"x3" square = 1 prairie point
Fold your square in half making a triangle. Iron flat. Turn again to make a smaller triangle. Iron flat again.





To add to your project pin to edge and sew over the top of each point.



You can add these around the outside of quilts, cloth baskets, pillowcases, pillows, whatever you can imagine.

For these projects you would sew the prairie points as shown above. For example, to add to a pillow you would sew points to one of your rectangles or squares of material and then sew the two right sides together. Once you turn your project right side out your points will be showing.

Here is another example of what you can do with prairie points.
