For those of you who might make a quilt using corduroy here are some hints. Corduroy does stretch. So I alternated the wales vertically and horizontally. Because corduroy has a definite texture, smooth or rough as you move your fingers along the wales, I tried to make sure that I reversed the blocks through out the quilt. The texture picks up the light differently and give a little more color variation. Don't worry too much about the corners all meeting exactly cuz it won't happen. The herringbone stitching hides a lot. Quilt Police are not allowed!
