Chore for today, [ATTACH=CONFIG]607934[/ATTACH] turn misc. batting scraps into stuffing. I have set aside all the pieces big enough to sew together for placemats and potholders and the rest need wrangling. I am snipping the scraps on the left into the bucket of stuffing scraps on the right. Lots of breaks so I don't get a blister. I tried using my rotary cutter but it just makes a mess of my cutting board. Wish me luck!

Good luck, and that is a great idea. I have a great deal of difficulty throwing out anything that "might" be useful so I will probably do the same.

Great idea, I may try that too!!!

I cut my batting scraps into pieces big enough for my swifter mop, it is a lot cheaper than buying the replacement pads and does a better job and...they is a ton of them leftover after quilting a quilt.

All my large pieces I sew together to make more batting. Small strips and pieces I toss. I don't make anything but quilts.

I do use small pieces for ornaments.

I bet birds would love some of these for nesting materials...

Great idea. A pair of spring loaded scissors might help in cutting if you have some. I have a pair that I've used on rag quilts & it sure saves on the hands.

Oooo I like that idea! I shall give it a try! Aren't you the wise one! Thanks for the good idea!

Just a tip. Turn your cutting mat over and use the back side, then you won't mess up the good side.
