I made a reversible corduroy quilt for a friend. Used random 8" squares of various colors, weights and wale widths on both sides. No batting. Tied with variegated ribbon at the corner intersections.
Be sure to use a wider seam width. 1/2" works, 1/4" doesn't!
Very heavy, but warm. She says its great for cold weather camping and for snuggling any time.
