I enjoyed reading everyone's response and I saw a couple of new ideas. I do not throw away batting and 2 of my fellow guild members give me their leftovers too. After the holidays, I plan to make several pet beds for the local animal hospital and the shelter. I do have one very small use to add. When you are hand sewing or quilting, use a piece to keep you needle in when not in use. It lets you see where it is easily and keeps it from leaving any marks on your project. I have also been cutting small pieces to use on my swifter floor duster and on my reddi-mop (one that has cleaner in a bottle that sprays). The bigger pieces are great for charity baby quilts for the local children's hospital.
