Have been learning how to quilt for the last couple of years, trial and error method. Finally put a kit together and have the top completed and ready to start quilting on my home sewing machine. Can do overall meandering or straight lines, still practicing the fancy stuff. There areprairie points around the center motif and not sure if I should outline quilt them down or leave them loose. Had thought that I would leave them loose but now that it is close to finishing not sure what to do with the points or the rest of the quilt. How do I quilt the prairie points. Help, need suggestions. Tried to post a picture and not being very successful.

traditionally, they are left loose but this is YOUR quilt... I suggest you pin down several points for several inches on both sides of one corner.... now that they're flat...do you like the way they show up or would you prefer a more accentuated with a 3D look, like on the opposite corner? Either way is correct, you get to choose.

I left mine loose and quilted around them. It washes up fine, they don't curl up.

Thank you, was not sure what would look the best, do like them loose, will be much easier. :-)
