I have worked corduroy into quilts...as long as the pieces aren't too small it works great...nice texture.
I have a corduroy dress that I am saving to work into a quilt...just waiting to decide on the perfect pattern and finding the other fabrics to go with it.

I adore corduroy. Flannel, denim, corduroy, are like the official family apparel fabrics, lol. A corduroy backing would give a nice weight a certainly keep the quilt from sliding off the bed. But I definitely wouldn't want to hand quilt it!!!

Unbelievably, I made a king-size bedspread that goes all the way to the floor out of 12" squares of all different patterns and colors of corduroy for my late husband, who loved corduroy. It wasn't meant to cover-up with.....just for the looks of it on the bed. I use it in the winter since it's the dark colors. One of my granddaughter has always loved it and wants it. It's beautiful if you like corduroy. It surely has to be tied and not quilted; and is pretty heavy. But it's a neat looking bedspread for the right bedroom.
