Debra, I've never used corduroy, but you only have to look at the
famours Gee's Bend quilters to see some examples of stunning corduroy
quilts. They were using it because it was available and warm. I think
it's a great and overlooked modern quilting material. I hae some
corduroy put away that I intend to use "someday" to make a warm quilt
for use in our Northwest winters.

I'd love to see the quilt when you get the top finished. I doubt you'll
want or need batting and you probably will end up tying as opposed to
quilting. But I think it will be well worth the exploring.

I've got a lot of corduroy in pinks and blues. It's nice soft stuff
that will probably be even softer after washing. Can I use it to make
a quilt top? Will I need to use big seam allowances?
