A friend asked me to make a quilt using corduroy she provided. All different colors, wale widths, degrees of stretch or not.
I was very new to quilting at the time and did not use wide enough seams, so be very sure to do wider seams! I would also recommend not trying to use narrow strips unless you cut them extra wide to accommodate the wider seams.
For Jenny's quilt I ended up doing 8" squares on both front and back and tying with ribbon in the corners of each block. No batting. Very heavy, but exactly what she wanted for camping. Really colorful as well as soft and cuddly. She loves it and named it "blankelroy"!
Oh and where my seams started coming out another friend zigzagged over them thru both thicknesses.
