I think it depends on what kind of fabric we're talking about, but here are some ideas off the top of my head:

tote bags, scented hot pads, fleece socks, lounge pants, knitting needle rolls, quillows...

The Green Pepper fleece sock pattern is very easy and doesn't require a lot of fabric either. I am going to PM you...

i think i will throw some rag blankets together, the grandkids haven't gotten ne wblankets for a couple of years, so if i make those it will use some fabric up. any other ideas?

Aprons, how could I have forgotten those? lol

Headbands (I have a really fast and easy pattern/instructions for that)...they have elastic in the bottom, and the fabric is shirred on top. They're really cute because you can make them for all seasons.

Tissue holders (for your purse), eyeglass case.

I think about this and come back with more later
