A very pretty quilt and great quilting.

Beautiful colors. I used corduroy as a backing also. It was very soft.

I don't see rippling as a problem here, either. Of course, I am not as picky as some. Your quilt is lovely. Almost a shame to hide it away in a car! But between the quilting and the corduroy backing, it will be nice a warm should you need it. Nice job!

Thanks everyone for your kind words!
The corduroy was 100% cotton and yes, I did wash & dry it before using it.

I have a long arm so no it wasn't a problem. I think you could quilt it on a domestic machine, especially with the straight line continuous quilt pattern I used. You would just use a walking foot. It actually doesn't seem to add much thickness, but more weight, so I would limit it to a throw size. I bound it by bringing the backing around to the front. I used a walking foot, but my domestic machine had no problem sewing thru all the layers.
I also used Warm & Natural batting.
Another added bonus was it was almost 60" wide, so for throws, no seams!

Thanks for posting the back so we could see the quilting. So clever and easy with a nine patch. I am always looking for ideas on what to put where, so that really helped.

Love your utility quilt, front and back. The front includes my favorite colors, and think the corduroy is perfect for a utility quilt. However, I would have a hard time using this in the car, as it is too pretty to be hid away : )

Love your colors. Would never have thought to use corduroy. Thanks for telling us about it.

Love these colors and the very simple straightforward design. Great arrangement of the fabrics!

Oh yeah, corduroy is a great idea and since baby wale (if you use it) is small it would work nicely!
