When it is full I fill a bag from grocery store/ Dollar Tree, etc. and as I fill it, I cut large pieces or long pieces into smaller scraps. When I have several bags, I make the pillow. and I have used flannel that turned out to be very stiff after washed, etc. They always seem happy to have them. Much better than to lay on the hard concrete floor in the kennels! Thanks for the heads up!
This project will help me let go of those scraps that are really too small to use again. I always hated throwing them out. I can cut up some of the big uglies too. Have a pet scrap container next to my keep-it scrap container at the cutting board will stop me from fretting about wasting fabric.
