[QUOTE=wellphooey;6358364]Those smaller scraps of batting are great for making your practice sandwiches for quilting ideas. Even the smallest pieces can be sewn together for these.[/QUOTE)
You can also use those smaller scrap pieces if you have a pet to make a bed for them or to donate to the local animal shelter. No need to throw away. I know we all have small scraps and also some ugly (in the eye of the beholder) fabric that can be used for this. I buy my batting by the huge 30 yard roll when Joann's has a coupon out. Bought all that I have for 1/2 off and at that time is was $60 a roll, so I only paid $30. Bought several rolls at a time and have not purchased any since, altho my mother did shortly before she had her stroke and it was $76 with the 50% coupon. I have 2 big rolls and one real thick one that was $20 --couldn't pass it up. Still upstairs unused.
