Do many of you quilters keep your batting scraps?

Batting scraps are great for small projects like mug rugs or doll quilts, just butt the sides together and they'll do great.
I know some quilters save all their scraps of thread, fabric and batting and put them into a fabric bag - when it's full they sew it closed and it's a nice doggie pad for their dog or for the animal shelter.

Or place the pieces together and zig zag with the biggest stitch you can do.

I use a mending stitch. It is like a zig zag only it stitches about 4 stitches on the zig & 4 stitches on the zag. I put the edges together & don't overlap. It works great!! I've extended batting when I've needed to on many quilts.
