Mom:
It sounds as if you may have bitten off more than I would like to chew. Corduroy is a b---- to sew. It ravels unmercifully and will fray and stretch even after they're sewn. I grew up making clothes when corduroy was really in style and hated every stitch I made on it.
If I WERE to make a quilt using corduroy, I'd make a very small one. If at all possible, I'd serge it together and back it with a light weight flannel so I wouldn't need to use a batting. Weight will be a problem in keeping such a quilt together after it's finished. I would never hand stitch this project, let alone hand quilt it.
Good luck to you!
Good luck to you. If you
