this is what i have done for years. i make flat panels of batt scraps for front and back, fit into a pillow form i've made from sheet or muslin, then stuff the smaller batt scraps, which i've shredded w a rotary cutter, into area between larger pieces. makes a nice, non lumpy filling for decorater pillows. i save my old used rotary blades for cutting paper as well as triming quilt edges and shredding batt scraps. anything w any poly at all, or paper, will tend to dull a rotary blade, so i don't use new/good blades for batt cutting/shredding, paper etc.
