I made a tied quilt for my daughter from scraps of corduroy that were left from making garments for her from age 5mos to 10 years old. She says its one of her favorite quilts, she helped to tie it. I backed it with a very lightweight denim fabric(it was in my stash).
I used a walking foot and a size 16/100 denim needle to sew it and a poly/cotton thread; also a 3/8" seam allowance just in case the corduroy ravels(it will).
