Do many of you quilters keep your batting scraps?

I save all my batting and fab scraps, and i take them all to my local quilt shop, and then they are sent onto the local animal shelter and a group of ladies make blankets for the animals in the shelter. When a dog or cat is adopted then, they are sent to their new house with their blanket.

I have used lightweight fusible interfacing cut into 2 1/2 inch strips for years to join batting pieces. Works great, just be sure not to have the iron too hot.
I also make 'sandwiches' and practice FMQ on them.

I save my left over batting. I put them together using lightweight, ironon interfacing. Much cheaper than the batting tape. I get the interfacing on sale and cut into one inch strips. All ready to use when needed.

I save mine down to 2 inch wide strips and zig zag together. I use the pieces for small things like hot pads, tablerunners, pin cushions, small wallhangings etc. I've managed to use all my batting scraps up except a small piece. I wish I could say the same with my fabric scrap basket. Dang but I think those scraps have learned how to procreate!
