Aw, thanks everyone.
My mom and I did the frogs together... she did the hand embroidery and I did the rest.

She calls it "hers"...

What hand embroidery? Are the frogs embroidered? Are they

cross stitched? How lucky you are to be able to sew with your Mom!

Yes, they are all hand cross-stitched.
And, my mom's great at the hand-stitching!

My grams (dad's mom) taught me to sew and quilt... after she died, I asked my mom to start sewing with me and she is!

I'm really fortunate.

Hi,

I have used prairie points on table runners and also on a baby quilt.

If you make them big enough (but not real big) prairie points can be grabbed by the baby to hold....like the edge of a silky blankie for thumb suckers. Put them randomly placed in the quilt for the baby to play with during tummy time, too. Babies love to finger things and it's good for their small motor coordination.

Have fun! Post a picture when you get it done.

If they are brightly colored a baby will really love them.

That's cool thinblebug. I never even thought of having a border after the prairie points. Now I've got something to think about....Thanks everyone

Love the idea of incorporating the prairie points in the body of

the quilt for the baby to grab!!!! That's a kinda "genius" idea.

(wish I had thought of it - win some - lose some..........)

Did my first prairie points on a table topper the other day. I love them. Just hate to have to press so many little pieces but will be doing them again. They add so much to a quilt. :thumbup: :D
