Show and Tell Monday!

I don't know about you, but I love vintage chenille! I have been collecting scraps for a while and finally got some things together, these are a couple of baby quilts, but I hope to get a larger one done for myself soon!

That is so lovely. I adore chennille. I had a couple bedspreads I bought in college. I keep making them in to things as they fell apart. It's all gone now but I just loved them.
this is a very nice piece of work. merry Christmas. Lilli

The colors of vintage chenille are marvelous. I like them all washed out and pale. The blanket is great, I sure hope you manage one for yourself!
