I use them for baby quilts. I sew them together if needed for the correct size.

I join pieces together with a zig zag stitch.

With the cost of material now a day I can't seem to throw it away and it's really starting to stack up.....Any suggestions?

I piece them together and use them in rag quilts.

If the piece is large enough I zig-zag together for either a baby charity quilt or lap quilt for gthe military. The local hospital appreciates stuffed toys. ThisI shred by pulling it apart. The police also can use stuffed animals to calm accident victims.

Have you seen the new fusible tape? I use it all the time and it has saved me a lot of $$ not having to purchase each time I need a batting.

I use the leftover pieces when I make a really puffy quilt. I sew 3 sides of the quilt together, turn it right side out and then sew the "columns" down the quilt. I stuff enough batting for 1 row and then sew across. Stuff another row, sew across, and keep going until approximately 8 rows have been sewn. I stuff the last row and hand sew the last side closed. My brother loved his quilt since it was so puffy.
