Google a product called Chenille-It. it is a roll of bias cut fabric.

The method I used was to get out my favorite sewing room tool, Elmers Washable School Glue, and tacked the chenille-it down one row at a time because I wanted nice straight lines on the ditch of the sashing. Then sewed that row down and went on to the next row until I finished all I wanted to do.

You can overlay the tape at intersections, you don't have to cut and piece it.

After sewing, I washed the quilt and the chenille frays and softens. I did have to wash mine twice because I was a little heavy-handed with the glue in some places and it didn't all wash out the first time so go light with the glue if you want to try adding it to a quilt.

The anticipation of waiting to see the finished look is worth it. I hope others will give it a try.

A few other things, I first thought I would do it on the LAM but didn't like how that was working for me, with not a lot of experience but it can be done especially if your blocks are not on point like mine are.

I quilted the quilt first then did the chenille part and then binding.

Such a cool quilt! Love the texture the chenille adds. A real winner :-)

Beautiful quilt! The colors are fabulous!
