    I made book covers with it and also snap bags. Of course I used a 50% off coupon since it costs a lot more than unquilted single-sided fabric.

    I made some baby quilts with pictures on them (3). They were pre quilted, I hand quilted then - 18 Yrs ago. After I got them all finished I took out all the pre quilting. The pre quilting doesn't hold up, at least that is my experience with it.

    I have a yard of very red with green paisley. I am going to make a project carrier out of it. A friend of mine has one. it has a lot of her embroidery and cross stitch projects in it. Thread, short scissors, needles and threader, thimble and a telescopic magnet if she drops her needle (it's about the size of a pencil).

    I had purchased a couple of prequilted panels before I was really into quilting.
    I trimmed them to just the generous seam allowance around the scalloped edge then tied off the quilting at the seam, turned under the seam allowance and treated the edge like the finish of binding - ie ladder stitch. Then I went back and did fake SID at the printed border which was intended to look like binding.
    I have also used the prequilted fabric for potholders or oven mitts. Although I felt like it was too wimpy after I got them done. Lol.

    One of my guilds does soldier stockings every year. We had a bunch of the pre-quilted fabric donated to us and we used it up making stockings.
