Yes, I've been using small batting scraps (I piece together the larger scraps to us in quilts) for pet beds for several , also all my fabric scraps too small for scrap quilt. I donate them to the animal shelters, they do use them. People donate their scraps to me, also, I especially like getting the polyester knits that were so popular years ago-they are perfect for the covers, I just make a pillowcase type cover, stuff it with the scraps & sew it shut. When they get dirty the shelter can throw them away, but at least scraps that would have just have gone into the trash get some beneficial use first.
