11-11-11 finished

I finished my corduroy appreciation day quilt for the show. You will remember my being a fan of CBS’ Sunday Morning led to this quilt. They featured a Corduroy Appreciation Club in New York City, getting revved up to celebrate the ultimate Corduroy Appreciation Day on 11-11-11 (November 11, 2011). I blogged about it and a challenge was on. Many of my internet friends made corduroy quilts and showed them that day. This is my version. It was inspired by a quilt by Anna Williams. I cleaned out my closet and snipped apart many of my thrift shop corduroy shirts to make this. It measures 31” x 43” - I quilted it in the ditch mostly. The last time you saw it it didn't have the borders. I thought it needed those.

    it's lovely in blogland, but I'm sure in person the texture and richness shows up better and it would be great to touch. thanks for sharing this!

    It's gorgeous. I just backed a quilt in corduroy for our camper, but we've been 'breaking it in' on our bed in the house until we start the camping season and I have to say that it is very snuggly.....I think I might have to make another that will replace it.
