Rory's Chenille

Here's my second go at faux-chenille!  This one is for MY baby.  For the back I used Riley Blake Medium Chevron in Aqua.  I contemplated doing the chevron cut chenille, but these stripes are 3/4 inch apart and I honestly do not like the look of chenille that is more than 1/2 inch apart.  It gets stringy and there are bigger gaps between the rows.  So much snugglier when they're smooshed together!  Regardless, the print is still on a convenient diagonal, so I used the right side of every other chevron to line myself up straight again every third row.

For the flannel, I used 2 pieces of turquoise flannel and 2 pieces of white flannel from Jo-Ann.  This time I didn't use basting spray because last time my cutter got so gummed up, so I just pinned instead.  I had a LOT of shifting.  I think the way I will go next time is to spray all of the flannel together and pin that to the fabric, that way the foot of the cutter never actually touches the glue, but all of those layers are easier to control since they've effectively been turned into 2 layers.

So cuddly!!!
