These are lovely! I mainly use heavier weight fabrics for cushions or if I love the print I stretch them over canvas so I can do a quick change around and keep my place looking fresh.

I like to use the heavier fabric for pillows, cushions, placemats, hotpads and potholders. If I really like the print, I sometimes will put it in an embroidery hoop and add some embroidered accents.
Thanks for the chance to win some absolutely gorgeous fabric.

I love the heavier fabrics for bags (especially lunch bags!), aprons, and home decor, such as pillows or a remote control holder that drapes over the couch arm!
I use heavier fabs for bags and sometimes for quilts -- if it's a "toss on the floor" type.
LOVE this mix - blues and greens are all-time favorites!

I know everyone says "totes" which are nice in heavier fabrics, but I also just made an O+S Ice Cream Social dress for my little girl in Heather Ross Far Far Away2 and it's beautiful! I've also made her some skirts in heavier fabrics that work well. ~Jen R: tandjrichards@yahoo.com

I use heavier fabrics mostly for bags. Or if I have beautiful cottons that I want to use for a bag I will sometimes put something heavier (like denim) between the cottons to add strength. I have some fabrics from when I used to sew clothes that work well for that.

I have some of the heavier fabrics and have used some in quilts. I'm going to use some to make those cute drawstring bags that are becoming abundant on the internet since Jen posted a really sweet and easy tutorial. I wish I had the confidence to try making bags and pouches. I'm new at this sewing/quilting thing.

I also want to try using the heavier fabrics for those little coin purses.

I tend to use heavier fabrics for things that are going to go through a bit more wear and tear- bags/totes especially. But I don't really follow rules or limit myself. I'll add interface to lighter weight fabrics if I just have to have that particular print. And I'll use all types of different fabrics in a patchwork project.
