If you have been following this blog for any amount of time, you know I try and use every bit of scraps that I can. I just can't help myself!
I was gifted a bunch of really soft corduroy about a year ago. I used what I could on the backs of some previous quilts. Last week, I cut all the leftovers into 9” squares, sewed together a quilt top and quilted it up. Some young man is going to love this quilt!
On the back, I used a camo print that Kat sent me. I also used that same print for the binding.
I have to admit I love this quilt. My grandmother used to make quilts out of corduroy so this has a lot of vintage vibe and good memories for me.
Now onto the next stack of leftovers 😊

I like that quilt also. It's going to be nice and warm, perfect for snuggling underneath.
What a great quilt! I don't think I've ever sewn with corduroy - where do you think the really soft corduroy is sold? Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
A very fun and probably, very warm, finish. What a great way to use up those odds and ends.
Lovely finish and the cammo backing was perfect!
Love the corduroy! Cool beans!!!
I recently used very soft corduroy on the back of a quilt. Love all the pretty colors you used in your quilt.
Great corduroy quilt! Warm, soft, vintage style, and uses up the fabric in a very attractive way. Very nice!
I do like the corduroy quilt, very smart and cozy indeed.
Corduroy! So cozy, and it has that nice heft, so it won’t slide around. Someone’s going to love that this winter.
I do so love corduroy! Reminds me of childhood days of corduroy skirts and pants to keep us warm in the harsh winters. It is just so soft and plush- what a tactile fabric! I think I need to shop...

Love that corduroy quilt. It’ll be perfect for snuggling under and a bit heavier that most quilts so extra comforting if you like a heavier weight quilt!
