I just stuff a pillow with my smaller pieces. I have pieced larger pieces for lap or twin size quilts. I mainly use polyester batting and sew it with a large stitch in an X.

The guild I belong to uses small batting pieces to stuff dog beds donated to the local shelter.

I'm saving mine to make a jelly roll rug.

I look for and buy batting scraps at quilters yard sales and with longarmers to use for the jelly roll rugs. I have been making and selling jelly roll rugs and jelly roll table runners, so scraps go a long way when they are 2.5 inches wide. I also read on here about using scraps in my swiffer and do that now too.

Thanks, Watson, for posting the link. I had not seen this particular video. Very useful info.

I’ve been giving my smaller scraps of batting to a sewing acquaintance. Her sister uses them to make dog beds for a local rescue group.

I put a small piece next to my machine to catch little pieces of thread, sew larger pieces together for small projects and make small pieces with fabric on front and back for practicing FMQ.

My pantry has a nook for a broom closet and I put a rod hanger in it. I buy a roll of cheap poly batting crib size and put it on the rod. I hung a pair of scissors on the rod too. I cut a piece I need for my dusting and Swiffer, etc. I use to have a bag of batting scraps to use but the bag was getting to be messy especially when digging in it for a size I needed. One crib size lasts for months.

I am with juliasb on this one. It is always worthwhile to recycle. I just stuffed a cute little dog using up the smallest of my poly scraps. I use the cotton batting to quilt orphan blocks that I use like mug rugs.

I make dog beds for shelters. You can use a fat quarter or any size, pets come in all sizes. I used my ugly fabric and stuff them with cut up scraps of fabric and batting. Dog shelters request that you cut up the fabric into 2" pieces so they won't ball up in the washing machine. I find it very fulfilling to do something good with my trash.

I save my batting pieces that are about 6" square and I make coasters and other small projects and donate to a local church that has a big Boutique in November. All the other pieces I donated to a thrift store and know that someone may need just a few bits of batting
