I piece what I can for baby quilts. I stuff toys for the hospital. I make pillows for a church group and use the little pieces for stuffing.

I piece it for smaller projects. Works great, hate to waste batting. :-D
|
Always piece so simple and really can't tell in the middle
|
kindle covers, placemats and pot holders

I cut my scrap batting into circles which I use to make reversible apple core quilts. Those take a lot of batting circles.

I pieced my bits of batting together and used it in the owl lap quilt for my MIL. It came out great! I've still got more for another project.

makes great packing material for glass jars, or any type glass you want to ship, I ship a lot of blackberry jam to the east coast to my daughter. never have lost a jar.

The larger pieces I sew together for quilts and the smaller ones I sew together and use for placemats, pot holders, mug mats, etc... Waste no, want not. No actually its just the quilter in me :)

me too . it`s amazing how much you can use if you have the time to piece it together. When you are on limited income it all helps .

Crumb quilts, selvedges, now batting - we seem to be getting back to the true, frugal spirit of quilting! Thankyou for all the tips on here. I keep tiny pieces of batting to use for stuffing toys or cushions, but the slightly bigger pieces were piling up. Never thought of using the machine to sew them together, or interfacing. Great ideas.
