I might be talking about prairie points until I am sick of them because I am giving a talk about how to make and use them at a quilt guild meeting in February. I learned how to make a new kind of prairie point when I made my chicken table runner. I used that same folded prairie point on this pillow. The difference on this point is that I used decorative stitching on the edge of each point. I’m not sure that it looked as good as it could have. I may have to play around with different stitches. It is hard to get a good stitch along a narrow edge. The prairie point was made from a 3″x3″ square of fabric. I am making another pillow using 4 1/2″x4 1/2″ squares with 2 1/4″ strips. I’ll show you how that turns out when it is finished.

I added the prairie points to 1 3/4 inch strips of fabric.



I sewed the strips together.

press the front and back

I put a zipper into the back fabric, added piping and sewed the front to the back to make a pillow.
It looks like I am practicing accupuncture on the pillow! I put a dot of glue under each prairie point and pinned them until the glue dried.

The finished pillow.

Do you know how easy it is to make piping? I will show you in my next post.
