Use heavy fabric for a plethra of puffy, pretty, pleated, patchwork pillows!
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 also want to try using the heavier fabrics for those little coin purses.

I just made a square zipper pouch with some Echino Fall 2010 I purchased from FrabicWorm. Would love to make pillows with it too, great fabric, especially after heavily laundered, it softens up and doesn't loose colour!

Heavier fabrics are great when making cushions or tote bags.
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.
