I bought some heavy cordoroy for $2.99 a yard and it is wide enough that I don't have to peice the it to use for backing. Would it be alright to use for backing? If so, would you still use batting? I was thinking about using it for backing for string blocks. You know, they are peiced on muslin so I thought perhaps with all of that it would be heavy enough that I would not need to use batting. I am thinking about using it for a quilt I am making for the soldiers overseas. Thanks for your help.

I think the corduroy would be a durable, warm backing and need not have batting. Because of the weight you might consider using a whole cloth top, maybe woven or fleece camo. and tying it. Practicality trumping beauty.
Corduroy could back tied lap quilts or throws. The nap would help prevent slipping, as well as being cozy. Whatever you choose to do will be a blessing to someone far from home.
