My dh is a retired firefighter and took his own linens to use. I made him a very unique quilt out of corduroy one Christmas. The house was so old and it literally snowed inside due to shifting windows. The quilt was made, not to be pretty, but to keep him warm. I made it with a ,sheet blanket as batting and a bedsheets as backing. The corduroy was just strips sewn together! Sure kept him warm!
