If I have at strip at least 12 inches wide and the WOF(batting) I save them and when I get about 7 or 8 piecec I sew them together and I hve batting for a twin size. Save more and you can make it bigger. Little scraps I make potholders or casters with. I usually will make some crumb blocks to do this.

For the fluffier batting, I just take a strip of regular fabric, place it under the edges of the two batting pieces and use a wide zigzag to butt the edges together. The fabric lies flat and you'll never know it's there when you put it into a quilt. You can even trim the fabric to just the width of the seam if you want.

I will have to sort the pieces. There sre some big enough for placemats or potholders. Everytime I made another quilt I bought more batting. Now I have several sacks of remnants left.
Thanks for all of these ideas.

Depending on the size, I wind up with leftovers. Now I have a huge stash of various small to medium size pieces. What can I do with them? They are not enough to do more than possibly potholders. I don't want to start new projects to take care of batting. Suggestions?
