Again a Project Linus quilt. Lots of corduroy was donated and the county coordinator ask if I'd try to use it somehow. So I used redwork type bear designs on some of the squares. Because of the nap I thought it might give an interesting effect if I rotated the direction. It acutally turned out well. It was heavy and warm and might be appealing to boys. Mother had a very old hand made quilt that had corduroy in it so I thought why not try it. I got two quilts with backing out out the donated fabric.

You are right - this added something tothe quilt. Was it any harder to embroider on corduroy?

Not really. I didn't use anything on the top and it worked out well. But it isn't a filled in design, red-work type stitching.

Thank you. I wouldn't have either. But is worked out. Had to be careful of the "walking" of the nap. As I told someone else they use it in my mother time so why not.
