I was making stuffed dolls for 3rd world countries for a church project and I asked everyone for the scrap batting....3 years later, I'm still recieving "scrap" batting that is lots of times big enough for baby blankets and lots of large pieces that I can whip stitch together to make it big enough for quilts. I whip stitch close together stitches and then run it on the machine with a zig zag stitch. It works great and I've saved a ton of money on batting.
