Can chenille be used in a quilt without doing the whole block that way?
I'm thinking about making a quilt that has some chenille characters in different blocks but I don't want to do the whole block in chenille.
So I was wandering if anyone here has made their own chenille pieces and could point me in the right direction on how to do it without doing the chenille on the whole thing.
for example:
if I want to make a squirrel on a log. I want the squirrel to be made with the chenille so he looks more real sort of like having fur on him but I want all the other parts of the block pieced like you normally would.
My biggest question would be, is it possible to chenille just part of a piece and how do you keep the ends from coming apart. DO you just back stitch the ends or is there something else I need to know?
