I'm going batting crazy!
I have been saving extra pieces of batting, thinking there HAS to be a good use for them. Some of the narrow strips I use in the straps of bags/totes. But what do I use the wider, however not over 3" wide, for? I tried using some in the making of stuffed animals and pillows, but they just didn't feel right. The strips are not wide enough to convince me to sew/tape them together for anything larger than a small table runner or table topper. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Cut them into strips about 8-9" long and use them for dust cloths, then pitch. I use pieces of W&N as mulch in my flower beds. The cotton breaks down, I've never seen the scrim, but I don't use it in vegetable patches.

My guild is swimming in batting leftovers from all the LA members. It's free to anyone that want any. When the mess gets out of hand, we stuff old pillowcases with it, sew it closed and take to the animal shelter.
