Heritage Keepsakes Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I love it! The color and the texture of it makes it definitely look like it would be delicious to snuggle under on a rainy day. Can't wait to see more pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustee Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I love this quilt. The chenille quilts are so compfy you can't help but snuggle. I made a couple as baby quilts and they held up great after many, many washes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBQLTN2 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 looks wonderfully cozy. Did you say that you sewed together 4 layers? How many did you cut thru to make the chenille? I was wondering if you cut on both sides and leave a layer in the center or by the looks you cut only one side. I would like to try that sometime. looks fun.

JustSewSimple Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have a rather large throw done like yours. A friend did it about 5 years ago and gave it to me. It has held up really well and is nice an snuggy warm. Soft as a baby's butt. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenie123 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Its four layers and you cut through the first three only on the one side ,I will buy a special chenille cutter blade if I ever do it again ,it was so worth it ,would love to try a throw size for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quietlifeaz Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 the chanille cutter and blades are way worth it. I love making chenille -- it so fun to pull the fluff out fo the dryer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Not to hijack your post--and this gorgeous Chenille throw-- The Topper website has downloadable instructions for stitching a chenille throw. It's meant for using the crosshatching rulers but will work as well with a regular ruler. About 3 hours of stitching and you slash it on the frame. Much easier with some tension on the top. Yardage requirements, fabric selection, and layering instructions included. Click on "crosshatching rulers" and scroll to the bottom of the page. www.topperquilttools.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenie123 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Wow thanks Linda ,I already thought about doing it on the longarm but I would have never thought of leaving it on the frame to cut ,headed over there right now to see tutioral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsyquilter Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 i'm laughing inside because i made one similar to this in plaids for my dad, he asked me why I made him a towel :-) its very pretty and I know how soft it is :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQ'd Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 You can also make winter scarves that way. Cut on the bias 5 layers any width you want any length you want. Layer them (you can use pieces on the 2nd and fourth layer). Sew on the straight (because you cut the pieces on the bias. Then slash two layers on each side and all layers on the ends for about 6". It does make a cute, soft and warm scarf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
