I've used it as a combination batting/backing on some charity quilts. It needs a couple of washings to soften it up a bit.
Why not a scrappy nine-patch combining the cordoroy with other fabrics? I look forward to see what you do ....
Happy Stitching!
one of my favorite quilts is a patchwork one with squares of corduroy alternating with squares of denim---it's a raggy quilt and just awesome! i also have used corduroy many times for appliques. nice heavy-warm quilts!
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy
I remember my GM made a crazy quilt out of corduroy that she did the feather stitch around it. It was my GF's lap quilt when the weather was cold and damp.
I made a rag quilt recently with corduroy and cotton squares. love it!!
I like to mix up corduroy and flannel in my rag quilts. It gives a nice texture, and it rags well.
I have made two quilts from corduroy and they are the family's favorites. I buy pants from goodwill and just make big stripes of color. I put jersey fabric on the back, cotton batting and tie them with yarn. The best!
Mine was nothing fancy, but it's a great quilt. I made it probably 25 years ago out of old pants, jackets and scraps of corduroy. I backed it with a flannel sheet and tied it with yarn.
I made a quilt with soft corduroy and flannels in an effort to make a manly-ish quit for my nephew. Its a turning 20. I didn't find it hard to work with, but what I bought wasn't super stiff. The solid blue and green were cord.
