Question
I have the points on the border. My question is do I tack them down? Do I quilt them? Like an echo quilting? Or do i jus tleave them loose?

Answer
HI Karen,
parire points usually are not quilted.  They are a decoration.

Here are some sites to help you with them

The points are not quilted as they are free standing.
