What are the smallest batting scraps you'll put together?

I will piece two pieces that are large enough to use in a lap or baby quilt. Some a little smaller I save for practice blocks. But in reality, I have too many bags of scraps around and little room to store them, so recently, I started cutting up the smaller pieces for my DD to use for nail polish and make-up remover. Most of my left overs are Quilters Dream cotton and it seems to work well for her. And she doesn't have to buy the cotton balls or pads.

I will only piece 2 for a quilt if I don't have enough for it.
I had a quilt 100 X 110 and the batting I had was 93 wide, so I cut it off the roll at 110" and added 15" to the 93" to = 115.
When I quilt for others, I give them the left over batting and the trimmings. They paid for it so it is theirs.

I don't piece little pieces together but will use them in other projects - mug rugs, potholdres, etc. I will add a piece onto a larger piece if I need the length or width. Might take 2 smaller pieces to make a piece big enough for a wall hanging or somethting that size. That's about as far as I go with it.

quick question...I saved all the scraps, fabric and batting and then make a doggy bed and used it to stuff the bed....it was heavy and when I washed it later, all those scraps seemed to bunch up in knot , and I thought it would never dry and then it was lumpy...........what did I do wrong?
