I usually butt the pieces together and then sew them with a faggoting stitch to make a large piece. After quilting, no one notices the difference. if they are very small I save them for trapunto work or to stuff appliques.

My niece is making a quilt from her boyfriend's old jeans. She is cutting all the squares 8", and will back each square with flannel square, sandwiched with a 7" square of batting, sew an X across them, then put them all together, rag style, with the seams up.

You can also zig zag your pieces together with a large machine stitch or whip stitch them by hand.
It all works.

You can make pet beds and stuff them with small batting pieces.
A hint from my LQS -- use a small dry erase white board to practice free motion quilting (stippling, feathers, etc) before going to fabric. Use small batting pieces as white board erasers.
