When my children were little I ran into a treasure trove of remnants of corduroy that were big enough to make apair of pants for my boys. Well, some of them got sewn up ( a very few) and the boys grew. I passed the rest on to my friend whose children were younger so she could make pants. She used them to make a Kings Crown quilt and it was beautiful!!! It was heavy and warm She used it for some 30 years and loved it.
