    Our state historical society has a large collection of antique clothing. They asked me to bring my scrap batting in as cushioning on hangers. A volunteer winds and sews the scraps on, then tops them off with muslin. You might check with your local historical society if you have one.

    Make dog/cat beds to give to rescue for animals. Make a pillow case stuff those pieces in it and sew it to gather.

    I like to use my smaller pieces of batting for dusting. Works great and you can just toss it when it gets too dirty.

    Donate the batting scraps to a charity quilting group. They sew them together to make a piece of batting large enough for a quilt (usually lap or kid sized). Other than that, I give mine to a lady that makes dog beds.

    I was saving mine so I could make dog beds for the shelters and then realized I would never do this. So I asked around and found a lady that would use them. Ask at a quilt shop or your long arm quilter if they know anyone that collects scraps for dog beds. There must be someone nearby that would take these off your hands.
