    I found a coaster pattern that uses 4 inch squares of batting. Here is the link: http://www.33shadesofgreen.com/2010/...-coasters.html

    Not sure if you are into this but it is a use for batting scraps! Happy quilting!

    I only save larger pieces to add to other pieces when it needs to be longer or wider. Small scraps I toss.
    I use my 'free time' to make quilts to donate. I work full time, have a Husband, 2 small dogs, 2 cats and a bird. Do laundry and clean house.
    I get boggled trying to use my scraps. Trying to use all my batting would really boggle me.

    They're perfect for rail fence type rag quilts.

    I have no problem giving my small scraps to a lady who uses them for dog beds, stuffing of cubie chairs, etc. I know I won't use them and it keeps me from throwing them in the trash.

    More power to those of you who take the time to make sure all scraps get used, but i just don't do that.
    Same here. I save the bigger ones and zig zag together for baby quilts and such but the smaller ones are trashed. They stack up too fast and I never seem to use them so out they go.

    This is what I do with mine too.

    I use them on my swifter sweeper and then throw away when done. They are great for grabbing dust off the floor.
