Left over pieces of batting and fabric scraps that I won't use and know it: My quilt chapter has 2 ladies who have requested these to use to make pillows or dog pads to donate to a nearby local veterinarian and they are a huge hit. I keep one of the bags from my polyester batting by my sewing desk and have 2 waste baskets by my desk - a small one for fabric and batting scraps and one for paper. The fabric and batting scraps are emptied into the plastic baggie which the air is squashed out of and when full, taken to a chapter meeting where one of the lady's will take it to use in their doggy pillows and beds. This is how they use up their larger leftover fabric scraps. A neat idea actually. Being a patchwork quilter by preference, I keep my useable scraps and they do end up in another quilt at some point.
