Our state historical society has a large collection of antique clothing. They asked me to bring my scrap batting in as cushioning on hangers. A volunteer winds and sews the scraps on, then tops them off with muslin. You might check with your local historical society if you have one.

All about how to arrange your batting scraps.

Watch her other videos while you're there. She's great.

Make dog/cat beds to give to rescue for animals. Make a pillow case stuff those pieces in it and sew it to gather.

I like to use my smaller pieces of batting for dusting. Works great and you can just toss it when it gets too dirty.

Donate the batting scraps to a charity quilting group. They sew them together to make a piece of batting large enough for a quilt (usually lap or kid sized). Other than that, I give mine to a lady that makes dog beds.

I was saving mine so I could make dog beds for the shelters and then realized I would never do this. So I asked around and found a lady that would use them. Ask at a quilt shop or your long arm quilter if they know anyone that collects scraps for dog beds. There must be someone nearby that would take these off your hands.
