Babies chew/gum quilts.
Prarie Points are small and if dislodged would choke a baby.

Most moms these days don't put babies to bed with a quilt, but instead use sleep sacks for safety reasons. So more than likely
Mom, dad, or caregiver would be around when using the quilt. Personally I love the prairie points.

I did prairie points on my grandson's quilt which goes to day care and is washed very frequently. It still looks great after a year.

Love the look of the prairie points. IF you sew them correctly, shouldn't they last through multiple washings? I have never done prairie points, but I do love them.

OK so I know your gut has already told you, the prairie points move it into way cool over that looks nice.

Prairie points.

How do you use them in place of binding?

I would love to do this.

That's what I was thinking too. If the quilt is going to be a play mat type of quilt then prairie points that stick out would be fine. However, if it's a curl up with and cuddle type of quilt I'd do them pointing inward or not at all.

As beautiful as this set is I'd think it would be used more like a display/play mat rather than a cover.

Whatever you decide, it is absolutely precious and the bag to match is so very clever!
