i have used corduroy many times for backing quilts and for piecing= i have not used chennelle- at the lqs that carries it she charges $24 a yard for it- too rich for my blood- and when i figured it out it would make a baby quilt cost $100 to make
i have made chinnelle (sp) and used it in making quilts. i have also used cotton terry cloth for the backs on beach quilts.
