two were plain colors and the 3 was a stripe the same as the binding.......... and then there was a plain for the back......... you cut through 2 of the plain and the stripe.

Guess they call if faux chenille because it really doesn't make a pattern like the bedsspeads chenille does.

You cut the strips first then put the binding on and then wash.... that's when the chenille happens..... during the washing and drying........

Not complicated at all..... just layer 4 fabrics.. sew on 45 degree diagonal - 1/2" lines.... square up your fabric then cut down the middle of each 1/2" channel only through the top 3 pieces of fabric put binding on wash and dry --- you are finished. Wash with a couple of old towels helps to make the chenille.........
Hope this is helpful. DO NOT PREWASH FABRIC.........
