I would stitch the chenille in a continuous manner with back stitching at the beginning and the end. This way you wouldn't have to worry the stitching would pull out. After cutting all the channels you could stitch the denim squares together and rag the seams in the front.

In my mind ragging is where you sew wrong sides together then cut into the seam allowances & chenille is whereyou use a special cutter to cut thru all layers except the last one which in this case is the denim. The only reason I was thinking of ragging the top is so I could do the quilt as you go method. I am open and will welcome & consider any other possibilities, I am not looking forward to cutting for the ragging, it never comes out pretty like the pictures. I am so glad I deecided to do this posting before I jumped in feet first without thinking it thru like I have done with other projects. I am going to take it to the laundry mat to be washed when finished, my washer does not have a lint trap and I don't want all that fuzz going in my drain. Thanks for your thoughts on this project.
Okay, you're wanting to do ragging, not chenille, right?
