I made this using dozens of old corduroy trousers. When going through my corduroy "stash" I found many trousers I had been wearing myself as a child. Luckily my mother and grandmother kept every piece of clothing and fabric which might be reusable one day. I had a big box of corduroy trousers to go through and pick my favourites. Apart from the backing I didn't buy anything, it's really all old trousers from my family.

I left out the corner pieces on purpose, that way it folds nicely over my bed.

Gosh, I love this!! Beautiful colors! They all look so good together. A truly handsome quilt and filled with good memories too!

Very pretty! It must really be heavy too!

Very nice, looks good & comfy, you did an awesome job.

Really nice.

Great idea and some fun memories of when you were a child.

Beautiful! I love corduroy.

Lovely!!! I see there is a DP16 tutorial on the net. How did you control the bias so well?

lovely!

i remember corduroy trousers - swish, swish, swish :)
great job on the quilt.

I'm not sure what you mean? I just tried cuttin all the squares in line with the corduroy stripes. Is that what you mean?

Nice.

Thusnelda, what a pretty quilt and a great use of 'family' fabric for a quilt of loving memories. Churchill is cute too. Looks like you put the sewing machine on the floor to be able to spread the quilt out while sewing. Good idea!!

Your quilt is gorgeous ... good creative job. Especially love your assistant

Nice job. Churchill has obviously worked hard

The machine is not on the floor but on (or rather in) a huge oak table that I (or rather my boyfriend) converted to my sewing table by fitting the machine level into it. It makes a great sewing height and huge sewing area. I love it.
