Default Piecing with chenille

I will soon start piecing 4 patch flannel blocks alternating with chenille blocks. The directions give no instructions on needle size or seam size. The chenille fabric was difficult to cut and and wondering if a size 70 needle will be ok. Also I can't imagine that a 1/4 inch seam will "work". Maybe I'm making too much of this. I've never worked with chenille,
minky or fleece ("thicker" than quilting cotton). This was a quilt kit given to me. Never paid attention to the chenille
and worked on the flannel blocks. Got those finished and started cutting the chenille this weekend--each block
had to be cut separately (per directions) and I should finish this PM. Any help would be appreciated.
