I used up a bunch of scraps for quilt- as -you -go placemats. Just cut them into the right size strips and they're ready to use. I suppose you could zigzag them together first if they were too small.

I never throw batting scraps away.

I cut the leftover pieces and use them in rag quilts. I have also used the fusible bonding strips to put pieces together. Works wonderful - especially for wall quilts and table runners. Like everyone else, I have a large amount of leftover pieces I just can't bring myself to toss out. Happy New Year and Happy Quilting!

They make a tape product called "Heat Press" to put batting together. It is a fusable tape that you can join batting. Jeanne Harwood Designs make it 818-723-5228 is their number. I have not used it as of yet, but thought it was worth a try.
