    The prairie points set it off just perfect. IMHO

    Great project! While I love the look of the PP, IMHO a regular binding will be sturdier.

    The set is so cute! What a great job. I like the prairie points. It just seems to add a special touch to the quilt.

    I happen to love Prairie Points, especially on a baby quilt, but I think the plain border would also look nice. Either way, your quilt and bag are very sweet, and perfect for baby.

    I like the Prairie Points, but I would make the points point to the quilt rather than away from the quilt, then bind with yellow. That way there is no chance of an eye getting poked and it gives a smooth edge to grab on to. jmho Pretty quilt by the way.

    I like the yellow border - I'm afraid the prairie points will not look as good after many washings. Also I know they are soft, but they are still pointy and a baby can poke their eyes with the points. How about a ruffle, if you want a decorative border?

    Go with the prairie points as it adds so much more interest. Pretty quilt.

    Prairie Points finish the quilt off much better than a plain border. The corners can be a pain, but very worth it for the looks. I wouldn't worry about multiple washings.
