Since you didn't specify quilted items: knitted or crocheted dish cloths. Crocheted pot scrubbers. Pretty mugs with teabags or treats inside (not handmade I know). Quilted bookmarks and book covers.

My guild had a sale table at craft fair. We sold a lot of these in many different sizes. The fancy ones made with velvet, satin, lace, sold fast. The ones made with fabric to be using it up didn't get the AHHHH how pretty this is reply at all. That is one thing most of the guild members have learned about our sale products. Make them fancy or whimsical. Practical usually doesn't sell very much.

Kleenex covers for those little packets. Maybe little fabric boxes. Display them with items in them for inspiration to potential buyers.

One guild member made a few tissue covers from Aida cloth. She crosstitched the covers with flowers, birds, bees, etc. They sold out fast.

I have found the humbug (sp) bags are sweet. Useful for any age as you could put small toys in for kids, makeup for girls. You can make them any size you choose. There is a pattern online but I can't seem to find it just now....it has been on my favorites. It turns out to be a sort of triangle with a zipper and tab.

The pattern is posted here for the TeePee bag or Humbug bag :http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...o-t122178.html

I've seen them made big enough for sleep over bags and beach bags.
