You can purchase a "Chenille" brush through a lot of quilt shops. I actually went to my local Wal Mart and purchased a set of wire brushes found in the hardware department. There was a set of 3 for around $2.00.
Where did you buy the brush you used to fluff the chenille?I have also made pot holders, purses, etc. with chenille. Instead of making strips, you add one more layer as the base. When you cut your strips after sewing, you do not cut through the base layer. If it is a pot holder, between the base layer and the three top fabrics, I place a layer of insul bright to hold the heat. I also find that flannel works better than cotton. With cotton, you do haave to help it with a brush. My toothbrush with cut off bristles is just not doing the trick.Thanks
I followed some of your instruction.But made a Cracy Quilt.By using odd and ends of material,I had no other use for.
This is an excellent idea! I have found that keeping my scraps has come in handy more than once. 5*****

Amazing! I've never heard of this technique before! Thank you for sharing it.
Great photos! I've always wanted to try this! :)
Thank you for such a wonderful idea! I've only been piecing quilt tops for about four years. Choosing the fabrics to go together takes me a few hours sometimes! I am going to try this for my next quilt project. 5*****
Fantastic! I'm sending this article to my mother in law.
