NoraB, I too snip up batting too and use it as stuffing, scraps under 5 inch width mostly. I make coaster sets to use up scraps and scrap batting, 5 inch squares, then I jump to placemats, again scraps of fabric and batting. Then I make table runners, scrap batting, some scrap fabric from time to time, but I usually stitch up a pattern. I try to discipline myself to do this regularly and keep ahead of my scrap batting.
