Chenille Baby Quilt

Some of you saw the quilt that I had been working on for my new little nephew, Benjamin. It is a chenille quilt and I am ever so grateful that my dear friend, Anne made one for Barrett. (Thanks Anne!) They are so soft and cuddly! With these quilts, you must cut the fabric and then wash it in the washer with fabric softener added. Then you must dry them in the dryer which is a huge no-no with any other quilt. The fabric shrinks and creates a beautiful effect that is so soft!

Here is before the wash:



And here is after the wash:
