Welcome to Day 4 of the Uncommonly Corduroy Book Tour
I have been anxiously awaiting for Stephanie's new book to be published. It is called Uncommonly Corduroy. If you click on the the blue title link you will be able to see lots of beautiful photos of Stephanie's creations.
For those of you who read my blog regularly you know that I am one of Stephanie's Supremes. I am one of several pattern testers for Stephanie. When she emailed me about writing a quilt book I was so excited for her. She asked if I would like to test a pattern for her. Of course I said yes. Here is a photo of Stephanie's original quilt called California Poppies.

I love this photo of the dots. The quilt has been washed so now you can really see the quilting here.

Hi, i saw cordoroy at my local quilt store that was extremely fine and soft. I would definately make a quilt using cordoroy in the future. Thanks, MarSha
Reading the blog posts in the tour have made me want to use corduroys in a quilt.
Ooh I love your wallhanging, the colors in both versions are just gorgeous! I would love to use corduroy in a quilt, it would add a bit of extra texture!!
I have sewn a jumper for my granddaughter using some of the new corduroy. I would love to do a quilt. Love your version of the Poppy quilt. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
Love all the little circles on this quilt.
One of my first quilts had corduroy in it. It adds such demension and detail. Thanks for the chance to win a great book!
Your version of Stephanie's quilt is gorgeous. Her book is so much fun. I can't decide what to make first!!
I can imagine how warm a corduroy quilt would be, so think it is a good idea. My husband would love it.
I'd love to make a quilt using corduroy. I have a book with a great quilt pattern using corduroy and denim. Two of my favourite clothing fabrics :)

I can't imagine making a quilt with corduroy. Seems like you would have to be very careful with the cutting as I remember you could get a different look if you cut a piece a different direction say for a skirt.
I used corduroy to make clothes for my daughters when they were young. I used to find the finest wale that I could and the loveliest colors. I think making a quilt with it would be lovely.
I would definitely like to try a project using the new corduroy and I must tell you how much I love your version of California Poppies. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.
I've sewn with corduroy once and enjoyed the process. I love your Carolina Lilies. I would love a chance to win the book. Hugs
I am anxious to make a quilt and a tote with corduroy. Thanks for the giveaway.
A "throw" quilt with corduroy would be so soft and comfy.
Well I have corduroy in the "stash" would love some ideas on how to use it.
It is "California Poppies" for me as well. I love corduroy. It was quite a popular fabric back when I was young, like in the last century. Grateful for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway. :O)
Love your Carolina Lilies. I would love to start out making a bag with corduroy.
I love your version of Stephanie's wall hanging. I won her scrap box of corduroy and I think I could make this using her bright scraps.
Very cute pattern and size for a beginning quilt with corduroy. I have used some scrap pieces of corduroy in a crazy quilt, but not as the main fabric. What a great idea. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have made a LOT of flannel rag quilts, and I would love to make a corduroy rag quilt. Thanks!
I love corduroy so , yes I would love to make a quilt using corduroy . Your version of the quilt is stunning !
I love the look and feel of corduroy so, yes, I'd love to make a quilt using it! Thanks for the sweet giveaway:)
Hi Carrie...thanks for sharing in the 'Uncommonly Corduroy' blog hop. I will be trying corduroy in a quilt or a bag...for sure. Thanks for the chance to play with Stephanie's book. Have a wonderful weekend. Happy stitching, Pauline
Her projects are just do beautiful and I can't wait to try my hand at doing several of the projects in Corduroy. Who knew how awesome it was. I just have to figure out where to get it, I haven't seen it in my LQS.
would love to win, thanks for the chance
I love your version of California Poppies, Carrie!
Cheers!
I'm thinking corduroy and flannel lap quilt. I think the hubs might get excited about my quilting if I made him one. Thanks for the chance to win such an inspirational book!
I would love to see this fabric and make a quilt from it. I think it would make a great quilt for my son.
I love trying new techniques, fabrics, quilt styles, etc. so I think I will try making a quilt with corduroy. Thanks for the giveaway!

Yes I would definitely make something from corduroy........maybe a great tote bag....
I would definitely like to try making a quilt with corduroy. I really love the purse in her book as well and would love to make that.
Yes. I have made a corduroy quilt before, and I plan on making another. Especially if I win the book!
I think I would attempt a quilt out of corduroy, felted wool and flannel plaid blocks. I would per wash all fabs for sure. It would be a warm and manly quilt.
I have just come across your blog via Loft Creations. I have not sewn with corduroy before, but will now look out for some to try.
I think a corduroy quilt would have a nice weight to snuggle under on a cold snowy night or maybe lay upon on a summer picnic. I will definitely try one in the near future.
Oh I do love the idea of a yummy, cuddly, soft corduroy quilt so Yes I will absolutely try it. I've noticed within the last week an unusually large selection of corduroy prints that are not "for kids only" & now I know why ;)
Sure! I'd like to try using corduroy
in a quilt
I WILL be making a quilt from corduroy. I have a lovely warm bronzey-tan waiting for me to get over my fear of the quilt police. Thank you for the chance to enter.
I am definitely thinking of making a quilt from corduroy. I had some and made a bag from it. With what I had left I made a gift bag that when my husband needed something for his iPad, this gift bag fit perfectly! It was easy to work with and think it would be great in a quilt.
I've been working with wool and like it so I'm sure I'll like corduroy. Some of my friends have tried it and I like what I see. I think I'll try a little wall hanging, first, to get my feet wet.
That kind of quilting is just right up my alley...love love love it!!
I will absolutely be trying it after reading the posts in the blog hop. Can you imagine how soft the quilt will be! (Perfect thing to daydream about during the snowy season in Minnesota.)
I might give it a try. I really do love corduroy.
Could be interesting. I love the texture of corudoy.

I have a largish box filled with corduroy squares just waiting to be sewn up into a quilt - and as soon as I can find a few days with nothing urgent to do, I'll pull it out and stitch it up!
Your test quilt turned out beautifully. I love the crinkled look after the washing.
You know, I would have never thought to make quilt using corduroy! That's a whole new idea for me. I can see why it's such a great idea though, I would love to try!
I already have the book, but just wanted to let you now I love the quilt you made! Such a soft feeling in colors.
your quilt is lovely. I love cord so I'd better put this book on my wishlist!
Beautiful wall hanging!
I never thought about making a quilt from corduroy. I don't think I have looked at anything other than quilting cotton since I started quilting.
Thank you for a chance to win a copy. I am loving the blog tour!

Absolutely I shall be making one, and if I was lucky enough to win this ebook, how easy would that be. Love the feel of corduroy.
Thanks for the opportunity to win. The book looks very interesting and I haven't tried corduroy yet.
I will definitely be making a quilt with corduroy!
Wow - I love this! Why? Because my very first quilts were from corduroy! Being the frugal mother of a young family, I took our old jeans, cut them into six-inch squares and made patchwork quilts. But I interspersed them with corduroy squares that I always got on sale. Would love to see the other corduroy possibilities!
I have always loved corduroy so yes, I would definitely like to make a quilt out of it. I only have dark colours in my stash though so I would have to buy some gorgeous bright colours for it.
In my teens I loved corduroy clothes. I have never thought of making quilts or other projects using corduroy... Love your quilt! Nice book with lots of interesting projects, won't miss the chance to win. Thank you!
I think I might give corduroy a go, that is if I can find some nice corduroy! Thanks for the giveaway chance.
I can't help thinking corduroy would make a great kid's quilt! Sounds like fun.
I have this personality defect which makes me feel that I just have to try new things! Corduroy quilts sound very tempting.
I'm always up for trying something new. Corduroy sounds fun. Thanks kristikay@spratt.net
I really like the colors in your version of this interesting pattern. I have never sewn a quilt with corduroy. Why not? It is a great idea. I think I am going fabric shopping soon. Thanks to you and Stephanie for a chance to win a copy of the book ... :) Pat

I love your version of the appliqued flowers....so pretty and your quilt work is to die for. Thanks for a chance to win the eBook!
That new corduroy fabric sounds so interesting. I'd love to own that book. Thanks for the opportunity.
I've always loved corduroy and wear corduroy pants all winter long. Now they have such fine and soft versions of it, I think it would be fabulous in a quilt. Thanks for the chance, Carrie.
I love corduroy too and would love to try a quilt or two. It would be so cosy to snuggle under.
All I've been reading about Uncommonly Corduroy Make me want to make a quilt. I this it would be great to lounge under and read a book. Thanks for the giveaway.
Winters in Pennsylvania can be quite cold, so a cozy quilt made from soft, warm corduroy would be wonderful!
I really like
the little spouts quilt
