Corduroy Quilt?

I made one for my husband without batting. I was told it was called a
counterpane.

HAVE to respond to this.....I received a huge box of corduroy scraps
when I first started quilting. the quilt was chaotic and goofy and was
supposed to be ALL MINE!!! I also discovered a flat sheet that had no
mate. I stitched the corduroy together in whatever pattern I felt like
at the time, and didn't bother with any batting. That quilt became the
most beloved and well-used quilt (can it be a quilt if it has no
batting?/)

My friend made a corduroy quilt for their master bedroom because her
husband liked a certain print. She just cut four inch squares and made
a Trip Around the World layout. For quilting she stitched in the ditch
around the squares. The finished quilt is very pretty but very heavy.

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?
