WOW!!!! All of these ideas are great :) I keep my batting scraps----I zigzag them together------I have used the fusible stuff that you iron on (not a BIG fan of it, but it does work if you watch your iron heat)----I use it for small projects---I mostly use it for purse straps (especially the long 2" to 3" pieces)----I love the idea for pet/shelter bedding and the swiffer pads----but the main reason I keep my scraps is because I have a hard time throwing them away :) Thanks for all of the tips........
