OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE that quilt. I am a chenille lover beyond belief. I would love to make(attempt to make) that. Did you have a pattern or was it original? Is it difficult? I couldnt make your link work, so not sure if that is a pattern/instructions or what. Could you tell me where to get the pattern.

Hope this one works, otherwise search for jean circle quilt. I found chenille at a quilt store on clearance for either 2 or 4 dollars a yard. It is the 60 inch fabric. Sorry I can't remember how many yards I bought, I know I used an ice cream pail lid for my circle template and then cut square pattern out of another lid. I used up some high loft polyester batting for the middle of the sqares. Didn't take long but chenille leaves a lot of fluffies all over. put the quilt thru the dryer on air fluff several times. If friends or relatives were visiting and I was cutting out circles or squares they were enlisted to help.

That one worked Denise.
I have one more question. In one of your pics it shows the underside of the quilt. It looks like finished chenille there too. Did you make your circles Double?? Because, the chenille I have in my stash has a plain side it isnt fluffly on both sides??

If you follow the pattern you will find that the finishing on the back happens when you sew the edges of the circles down. It is kind of a quilt as you go project. I would never use high loft in the centers because it is too difficult to get everything to match up. I would use low loft batting or a piece of flannel or fleece, or no batting at all. I thought the quilt could be used on the couch or to snuggle in but with the batting it is too stiff, so need something not as bulky. Learn from experience. I have 400 jean circles cut out waiting to be sewn together.
