Sandy, that is what I do also. I have made a good many baby quilts doing that. When I bought my LA used they also through in all the batting pieces. Had a huge amount! But, have gotten them about all used up.

Great idea....cutting into little bits is something I hadn't thought about! Thanks.

Thanks for this link - very clever.

That's what I do. The small pieces, 4 1/2, 5 1/2, etc, like to use inside my mug rugs for absorbing any heat or liquid to better protect furniture. I saw a thread on here recently that another use is to sew them together for a dust rag. I did that, it worked great. Keep one handy at my sewing table. Thanks QB Digest.

Thanks... I saw one of those bags made up in a LYS and it was so beautiful. Will save my strips of batting for one of those!

I use my batting ends and strips for handles for bags and potholders, bibs, whatever the size of scrap is.

This is what I started doing with my left over batting and will save small scraps for stuffing.
The long skinny batting is for table runner.

There is a tape out just for that purpose. I have used it to make batting for doll quilts. They get a lot of use and hold up well.

It's a great idea, but your item may not be washable. I ran into mold problems because I couldn't get the sucker dry enough. So, I will use the small pieces for draft dodgers or small things like pincushions, but a 14x14 pillow, no. I'll use washable (and dryable) pillow forms.

I'm too late to get in on these good ideas. I just cleaned my sewing closet and tossed out those odds and ends of batting. Darn!
