It makes wonderful quilts and lap robes for our troops.
They really appreciate them. KansasBarb |
I saw several cool log cabin quilts done in with corduroy when I was in Norway this summer. I imagine that they are warmer than some might be - which is fitting for that climate.

Interesting! I have seen a lot of really cute prints made out of this material and my first thought was "I wish this was cotton". Hmm, maybe it doesn't have to be! :) Food for thought!

I turned down a donation of corduroy just the other day...now I think I'll try and get it back...three colors, small wale, very pretty. Seems I made a rash decision.

Could what you have be 'clipped corduroy'? I haven't seen any for years but it looked somewhat like velvet but is corduroy? I am guessing that is what you have. Sue

Corduroy cut into squares and sewn to a flannel backing makes a great car quilt for teens.

You can do anything and try anything that you want. Be creative. Right now I'm working on a wall hanging that has cottons, upholstery fabric and leathers in it. Very unconventional, but it's beautiful! Go for it!!
