Cheater Quilt fabric
#1
I was given a bunch of what I consider "cheater" quilt fabric. It is already quilted and has some batting on one side and fabric on the other. I have no idea what to do with it. Suggestions?

Lots more things you could make. Keep in mind that by adding a backing/lining, this new fabric will not be quilted, and so, you could end up with shifting and shrinkage problems.
If you don't really care for the pre-quilted fabric, you could always "bury it", using it as a batting (even with the cheater fabric included)!!
Yours may be different, but something to check/consider before deciding how to use this fabric .... The pre-quilteds that I have seen have had a backing stitched right with it. They seem to have a different sort of stitching than we traditionally expect of machine quilting, which then is unstable, and come apart with little usage.
