    If you sewed the binding on and then turned it completely to the back, wouldn't that make them outies? Just a thought. I like them in, and I would be afraid that they would be all bent up after you wash them.

    Innies for inner borders.....outies for the outer edge! But I've never made them myself, just admired others who did!

    I believe Harriet Hargrove in one of her books (don't have my books with me) she teaches how to make Prairie Points out of one piece of fabric. You may only do this if your Points are all the same fabric. It is too cool. I love it.

    I have never tried making the prairie points-but love the look it gives to quilts.

    I wondered what was wrong with that quilt the first time I saw it. Didn't bother to look close enough. If I wanted them pointed in I think I'd just border with triangles. That's a lot of fabric to waste. IMHO

    This is a tutorial for continuous prarie points. Much easier, faster, and looks better than individual ones. I love it.... innies or outies!!!!
    Thanks for posting this!! I was searching just yesterday for this technique and found one on ehow but it just wasn't clicking on exactly how to do the 2nd fold. I so much want to do this on my next project.

    Isn't fun how when you get an idea it just comes up here to help you along? :)

    Would it work to put the outies on at the same time you apply the binding to the front?

    I've never seen innies before, only outies.
