I am happy to announce Day 4 of the Uncommonly Corduroy Blog Book Tour!
Stephanie of Loft Creations has published her first book called "Uncommonly Corduroy". I am one of her team of "Supreme's" who test her pattern instructions prior to being published.
Stephanie's new book is wonderful and you can win a free electronic version of the book.
The pattern that I tested is called Salt Water Taffy. Here is my version before it was named:
I think this is an awesome and versatile pattern. There is a coloring sheet included and I loved choosing colors and using the sheet to see how the quilt would look. My quilt is not made from corduroy but I want to try this pattern in corduroy.
Here is Saltwater Taffy from the book:

Isn't Saltwater Taffy awesome?

I do like the quilt you made. I have never sewn with corduroy but I love the photos of lovely corduroy that I have seen on the blog hop.
Your Salt Water Taffy version is stunning! I have never sewn with corduroy, but it's never too late to try!
Wow! What an awesome quilt you made! Love it!
I've sewn with corduroy as bag linings, but never in a quilt!
A long time ago I made a simple tote bag for my sister with corduroy. I'd love to tackle a quilt at the moment with corduroy and possibly denim.
It is amazing how curvy the lines appear in that quilt!
I have sewn corduroy dresses and pants, a bag, and even used some with jeans fabric in a quilt.
Count me out in the draw as I already have the book!
I have sewn a teddy bear made of corduroy, but never anything quilt related. I feel like a corduroy quilt would be a great winter couch quilt, I'll have to keep that in mind!
I've only sewn clothes with corduroy. Would love to try a quilt!
It's fun to see the differences that fabric choice makes.

Your quilt looks fabulous!
I've made a jumper for my niece from corduroy - never thought about using it in a quilt!
I would love to make a corduroy quilt to use in winter for the sofa.
Your quilt is beautiful…love the colors!!! I've never sewn with corduroy but would love to give it a try. Thanks for the sweet giveaway :)
Awesome quilt Mary. I love the high contrast color that you used. It really makes the pattern pop! I've sewn clothing for my children with corduroy but never a quilt. Thanks for the chance to win this book.
I haven't used corduroy before, but every time one of you post something you made from the book, there are so many things I'd like to make and try. What a great book and all the patterns I've seen so far are awesome!!
It's a beautiful quilt, Mary! I've sewn stuffed animals with corduroy (Molly Monkey free pattern by Mmmcrafts and Ewoks free pattern by Wild Olive.) I like the idea of a quilt to snuggle under that has some weight. Maybe backed with flannel?
I like your quilt , thanks
I am currently sewing a corduroy jumper for my 4 year old granddaughter. 21 wale and soft light fabric. The skirt is a lovely floral print corduroy. I can see this fabric working well in quilting projects. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
Your Salt Water Taffy is gorgeous, Mary! I definitely want to make this one! Of course you know I already have Stephanie's great book ;>)
Cheers!
Very pretty quilts. I like both those color versions.
I cannot recall using corduroy to make anything in the past, but I do want to make my granddaughter a cute little jumper with wale cord. I also want to make the tote in Stephanie's book as well.
OH, my goodness! Mary your version of Stephanie's quilt is just gorgeous. Well done.
I love your color choices for this quilt. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the book. Hugs
I've only ever made clothes from corduroy! In fact I have a new printed piece ready to make a skirt! Not sure about making a quilt though??
I have used pinwale corduroy before in my quilts. I love the texture it gives.
I have only made a pillow from corduroy, but would love to make a quilt! Thanks for the chance!!!
Oooh I love this quilt so much, definitely goes on my "must do" list!
First off, that's a stunning design, in itself. I mean, you could make that from seaweed and it would turn out great. I'm just starting to use wool and never dreamed of using corduroy before this, so it's on my list. Texture. That's the thing with corduroy. Since I'm an avid applique designer, I'm giving this some serious thought.....and need to win this book so I can get up to speed. Thanks for letting us visit.
I haven't sewn with corduroy yet but thinking I will soon. Hubby needs a new lap quilt and corduroy and flannel is something he would enjoy.
Lovely quilt , I like the Colors you have chosen for the salt water cafe quilt . I have never made a quilt with corduroy but have made clothing and some bags , I love corduroy and enjoy working with it and would sure love to win the book. Thanks for the chance,
Wowza! Mary! Gorgeous quilt. Oh. My. Looks like a great book. I had a student who used corduroy in a quilt and it was marvelous. Thanks Mary for sharing this book with us!
You did a great job on your Saltwater Taffy quilt. The colors are wonderful.
What a lovely quilt! I like the name too. I've used corduroy most recently for a purse, I love the texture. Thanks for the fun!
love your quilt, thanks
I've made skirts and jackets from corduroy and don"t know why I never thought of quilts. fantastic idea..

I think corduroy makes great tote bags.
I've made a top with corduroy, but have never even thought about quilting with it! what a great idea. your top is gorgeous!
Love "Salt Water Taffy" in any form even when it isn't edible. Great design, great work. Would love to do one of my own and give it to a friend with a pound of salt water taffy. It would be a sweet surprise on two fronts. Then I would make "California Poppies" for me. thanks for the opportunity!
I love the texture of corduroy and would love to make one of the bags in the book.
I made a tee pee out of corduroy for my grand kids - worked really well.
Years ago I sewed clothing for my children and myself: pants, jumpers, skirts and jackets. Since I started quilting, I don't sew clothing any more!
Thanks for the giveaway.

I haven't sewn anything with cordoroy! I would love to see some of the new cordoroy, I think it would be cool in a quilt. I obviously can't spell the word!
I love the quilts, but I don't think I would use corduroy. But love the bags and see so much potential!!
I love your version of the quilt. The colours are great.
I haven't sewn with corduroy and the memories I have of it are that it can be thick and stiff, at least it was in the 70's, but I gather it's changed now.
lovely quilt! I've never sewn with corduroy, but I did buy some to make an embroidered bag. i should get on that!

I have never sewn with corduroy but would love to give it a chance. I love that quilt.
I love both versions of this quilt! I have not sewn with cordoroy but remember the pants of the 1970s and how much I enjoyed them. It is time it had a revival! I would like to make a purse from cordoroy.
Your quilt is beautiful and so is the one from the book.
I haven't made anything from corduroy since I stopped making clothing. Even then I don't think I used it much,
Thank you for the chance to win a copy of the book

I haven't sewn with corduroy since my girls were toddlers and they needed warm pants and we we're reading the Corduroy picture books. I can see where a quilt made of corduroy would be wonderful to cuddle under - especially this past winter. Your quilt is beautiful by the way.
I definitely want to make a quilt with corduroy.
I haven't made anything with corduroy yet, but I think it would make an awesome rag quilt. Thanks!
Your quilt is very beautiful. I have never sewn with corduroy.
Haven't sewn with corduroy but would love to try that quilt!
Mostly clothes and pillows
I have not sewn with it but I want to make a baby quilt for a friend who lives in a cold climate!

I have never sewn with corduroy, but remember clothing I had made from it as a child. I would just have to make a quilt, I so love the feeling of it.
Thanks for the chance to win the book. I haven't used corduroy yet and this would be the perfect time!
I made clothing years ago with corduroy, but never a quilt. Am going to try this!
I have sewn jackets, skirts, pants and bags out of corduroy and even a 5 piece suit for myself (in my high school days - jacket, vest, skirt, pants and hat) but I would love to make a quilt out of it. I LOVE corduroy.
Good morning Mary...I used corduroy to sew clothes and bags back in the 70's and 80's but nothing recently. I can see me using the 'new' corduroy to make a quilt. BTW...love your version, have a happy day!! Pauline
Lovely colors in your version of this pattern. I have never sewn a quilt with corduroy. It sounds like a great idea, though. I love the feel of soft corduroy. I think I need to go fabric shopping. Thanks to you and Stephanie for a chance to win a copy of the book ... :) Pat
Very nice, would love to win my own copy of this amazing book.
I think corduroy would be awesome in a shopping bag!
I've sewn stuffed animals with corduroy. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
I have never sewn with corduroy. I think it would make a very warm and comfy quilt.
I have sewn with the "old" corduroy when my children were babies but would love to try the new softer cord. In fact, I already have some that I bought for a totebag....would love to use one from the eBook! Thanks for a chance to win.
That new corduroy fabric sounds so interesting. I'd love to own that book. Thanks for the opportunity.
Salt Water Taffy is beautiful. I'm going to try this in corduroy. Would love to win the book. Thanks
