To make continuous prairie points, you will need the following materials:
-Fabric for the prairie points
-Rotary cutter and cutting mat
-Sewing machine and thread
-Iron and ironing board
Here are the steps to make continuous prairie points:
Cut a strip of fabric to the desired width of the prairie points. The length of the strip will depend on the desired length of the finished prairie point border.
Fold the fabric strip in half lengthwise, with the right sides facing each other.
Sew a seam along the long edge of the fabric strip, leaving a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Turn the fabric right side out and press it flat.
Cut the fabric strip into individual prairie points, making sure to cut through both layers of fabric.
Fold each prairie point in half, with the raw edges at the bottom and the folded edge at the top.
Arrange the prairie points in the desired order and orientation. Make sure the folded edges are all facing the same direction.
Pin the prairie points together, making sure the folded edges are lined up.
Sew the prairie points together along the folded edge, using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Continue adding prairie points until the desired length of the continuous strip is reached.
Once you have completed the continuous prairie point strip, you can use it to create a border or other decorative element on your quilt. Simply sew the strip onto the edge of the quilt, making sure the raw edges are aligned, and fold the prairie points up to create a textured and visually interesting border.
