I keep the larger pieces and use them in baby quilts, or I have needed just a few inches here and there to make it to the end of a new quilt.

I keep the scrap batting for stuffing smaller projects. We also have a lady who collects all scraps to stuff pillows for animal shelters.

I keep them all, the bigger pieces I join with others. I have a really large bag of little pieces I intend to use for a dog bed. I have saved some of them and stuffed a muslin bag I made to put in a pillow case. I generally just lay them over lapping the edge and cut with my rotary cutter and whip stitch them together. I have used the zig zag on my machine and I have made my own joining tape using the lightest weight fusable interfacing, that was before they came out with the tape made for the purpose of joining the batting. I hate to cut a large piece of batting for a small project, I've been know to join three or four small pieces together. I always keep the different batting together and don't use all cotton with a poly blend.

I keep them. Will zigzag together or use new tape for batting!! :wink: :-P :wink:

i save mine for doing the 12 inch premie quilts

I keep even the fairly small scraps and use them to dust computer and tv screens, among other things. They are useful for many purposes. :-)

Yes, I save those scraps and I need them right now. Can I find where I put them??? No, I love company but hate it when I have to rearrange things...I always lose something.

So far I have been using my scraps to make sandwiches to practice FMQ on.

I get a bag of small bits and the ladies at the quilt club at the senior center stuff pillows with them.

I save left over scraps for sandwiching pieces for practing FMQ

and also for makiny small pillows for my grand children .
also can be used to make small items of coaster, pot holders,
how mats. etc.......
