When I was growing up I thought they were so ugly and now I absolutely love them!
What does a child know hee hee :D
I have a couple but haven't cut them up. I was gifted a really cute scotty dog made out of one and I also have a pillow but that's it.

They make beautiful quilts. I collected them for several years just for that purpose. You could either use only chenille squares (may need to collect a few more cutter chenilles off of ebay first to add to them) or alternate the chenille squares with cotton squares. I made a pretty shabby chic one for my granddaughter by using different chenille square and alternating with floral ones. Very cozy. Would love to see a pic your chenille.
Also, if it has any fringe around it, you could make a matching pillow and trim with the fringe.

I am sitting here with one (white) folded in half and keeping warm. Mine has one stain on it round and I just noticed it so will have to try to remove it. I got in a box of fabric at a sale...
Oh they look great under Yo-Yo quilts...
