almost forgot I have this:
How about using the batting scraps for small craft projects...batting for
doll quilts, potholders, banners, rag quilt, etc. Also, if you have a child
or grandchild, niece or nephew...they may enjoy making a pillow and using the
batting for stuffing.

Coasters....small appliqued landscapes......minatures......bookmarks.....tea cozies.....place mats......table runners.......paint the batting and collage to another quilt (gasp!!!!! Is that the start of an art quilt I see?).........ATC's (artist trading cards).......Inchies........little tiny purses.......regular sized purses......tote bags for all your other stuff........and on......and on.......and on.......The uses are only limited by your imagination....
..
Postcards, inchies, trapunto by machine, pillow tops, quilt-as-you-
go, raggedy flannel quilts, pot holders, practicing machine quilting,
playing with different threads, quilted purses or totes or diaper bags

Packing material in boxes.

there have been lots of ideas thrown out lately - use them in your swiffer,
as dust collectors, join them together with a zig zag for small items -
table runnners, wall hangings etc. use them for quilt as you go projects. I
have joined some of the larger pieces and used them in charity quilts. We
pay good money for our batting, we should use what we can.

use for cleaning the lint out of the clothes dryer.
