Cut some 2" wide strips of fusible interfacing & lay the pieces together & fuse with the strips & use in smaller kid size quilts or for table runner size.

I use it wrap Christmas tree ornaments in. I have some very delicate glass ones and the batting works great.

As others have said, sewing them together works. Also, your local animal rescue organization might be interested. They can be used for pet beds.

Zigzag them together & make an AAQI mini quilt. Join the Quilt a Month Club & help raise money for Alzheimer research. http://www.alzquilts.org/paq.html

Great idea for scrappy back!!!
QAYG: The fun & done quilt I did used 7.5" batting squares. But you can make batting squares any size, so once you zigzag batting scraps together, square them off...cut the backing 2 inches larger...strip piece top. OH NO! I'll have to do at least one square today :)

I used them to stuff small animals to give as gifts.
I also make lots of flat Christmas tree ornaments and give them away to everyone. Good way to use up the fabric scraps too.

If I can find the photo of the stuffed pig, I'll send it...

Piecing them together works - and it does not need to be a neat straight seam - just so it is not bunched up - and the smaller pieces you could do a quilt as you go quilt - My MIL does many of those; she throws nothing away until it is in need of a magnifying glass to see it! lol Have a great day!

You can also make stuffed toys, or pillows from them; they make great stuffing.

Use the feather stitch on your machine and it works great to sew them together. I've even put similar battings together and no problem.

I don't throw any of it away and do as others have and sew it together with a zigzag stitch.

I piece leftover batting with a zig zag---just butt the sides right up next to each other. It's a little like rerolling the cookie dough so you can cut more cookies!
