so the chenille you used was "chenille" on both sides without a wrong side? Mine is chenille on one side and the other side is a "wrong side" I dont think I have ever seen chenille fabric that was chenille on both sides'

No my chenille had a wrong side and right side. Once the circles are sewn together you end up with a square on the back of the quilt and a square with flaps on the top of the quilt. So the right side of the fabric is to the back of the quilt. when you sew the flaps down the right side of the fabric will be what is showing.

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??

Margie,
See second message on the first page posted by NiceNCLady. She gave a link to sunshine creations, a tutorial on how DAMayer did this block.
There are two circles. DaMayer did one circle of flannel and one circle of chenille. Place them right sides together and sew around outside edges.
(I would think with chenille and flannel you would not need any batting.)
Make a small slit in the flannel side ONLY close to one of the edges to turn the circles right side out. Later this slit will be hidden when you fold over one of the edges of the circle. Use a tool to help you smooth out the circle and press. The tutorial will tell you the rest. Hopefully you can open it. Hope this helps. I agree, DAmayers quilt is lovely.
