Layer the three layers of fabric by placing the batting on the bottom, the chenille fabric face up and then the second chenille piece on top face down. Place pins along the edges of the three layers to secure.

Straight stitch along the edges of three of the four sides individually. Make sure to secure the thread at the end of each stitch by sewing forward all the way to the end and then sewing a few stitches in reverse and forward to the end again.
Once three of the sides are sown, sew the fourth side starting in the middle leaving an opening approximately 8 inches wide in order turn the fabric pieces right side out.
Once the fabric pieces are turned inside out, be sure to straighten out the corners. Then pin the open space closed and use that as your starting point to top stitch along the perimeter of the blanket carefully curving around each corner in order to secure the three layers. For my top stitch, I used a wavy stitch.
