When my children were small (MANY years ago) I bought a bunch of corduroy remnants that were big enough to make pants for them. I didn't get all of it sewn up before they grew through that size. So I passed them on to my friend whose children were somewhat younger, thinking she could make pants for her kids. Instead she enlarged a King's Crown pattern and used those remnants to make it. It was beautiful and I was jealous. She used it for years on her bed and eventually it became the picnic quilt. Heavy and warm and years of use.

I actually made a queen size quilt in ribless corduroy. By careful placement of the design (all squares and rectangles) it looked like several shades were used. It is very heavy so I would advise little or no batting.
