What kind of material is it? Because depending on the kinds of materials you could make plushies or bags

Yeah, couch pillows could work too. Or even things like cup holders or a teapot cosy.

or depending on the patterns, you could still make a skirt but patchwork it

I had that problem once when I bought a yard of two different adorable fabrics. I went to the fabric store and bought 1/4 yard of a coordinating solid color and then cut the cute fabric in half for back/front, then cut like, a certain length (I don't remember, sorry) to sew for the band at the top and some on the bottom, then just sewed it all together and put in some elastic (was really simple, 'cause I'm not that great). Could have added some pockets if I bought more of the solid, but I still like it. I don't know if I explained that right, but this is a picture of it, and it's pretty easy to figure out by looking at it (though the band isn't in the picture): https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/16940_1234016724449_1050090059_30563500_473145_n.jpg

I made a pillowcase for a road trip pillow with the other fabric and it's super cute! One of my kitties has claimed it, though.
