Patty shares a vintage corduroy lap quilt

Warm and soft.  It reminds me of those state map quilts that show all the counties.

  2. Wonderful colors and the embroidery sets it off so well, it does look like a map, a very snazzy one.

  3. This quilt is so modern looking. Does it have a date?

  5. I'd guess a date of late 1940's or early fifties. I made a corduroy dress in 8th grade sewing class (1949) in that coral color. That was an ambitious project for a beginner--pockets, horseshoe collar, nap, etc. Seems I put the sleeves in 3 or 4 times before the teacher ok'd them.
