I'm doing a clean-up of my sewing room today, and decided to tackle the batting scraps I've just been tossing back in the bags to get to someday. I guess today is someday :D

I've been trying to think of what I generally use them for, and cutting them to that size. For example, I like to do hot pads and mug rugs as quick gifts, so I have a stack of 10" and 4.5" for those. I can set aside longer, skinnier strips for tote bag handles. I can set aside the larger pieces for placemats and table runners.

I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas for other size scraps though. Some of the leftovers are too big for me to want to throw them in the puppy bag bin (where all my tiny scraps go for puppy bed stuffings.)

I sure could use some ideas - I have a bunch of stockings to be done this weekend, and the batting scraps are gonna eat my lunch!
