That's what I do with mine, or I use my batting remnants for QAYG projects. It's hard to let anything go to waste when you know it could be used for something eventually!
I don't intend to throw it away, but eventually is here and I can't get into my closet without crawling through stacks of batting. The idea of cutting them up for pillows is great, as I make plenty of them and have been buying pillowforms. The problem is what do you put them in because when you want to wash the outside they'll all pop out. Not good!
I make my own pillow forms by just cutting 2 pieces of muslin the size I want (14" sq, or whatever) sew it all but a small section and fill it with fiberfill, or all those little pieces of batting you cut up. and then sew the opening shut. You don't even have to turn it inside out. I like to use the serger, but a zigzag works.
