When I am making donation quilts for dogs or cats for the no kill shelter, I will zigzag the 5" pieces together to make a big enough piece for the quilt.
I then make a row of squares and quilt as I sew...the dogs and cats are not very picky. When I was donating a stack of them last December, a woman that was getting one of the cats had to have one...I said that if she made a $20 donation to the shelter she could have her pick...and she did :-D

We have several long armers that give our guild all their left over batting pieces. We have a mountain of batting. No one wants more then several pieces of it at a time. We end up stuffing it in used bed sheet fabric for dog beds and giving those to the Humane Society

I would cut calico prints of same length/width, then make scrappy
quilts. Just sew (sew and flip) all those narrow strips, small blocks on the narrow
strip until you have 90" (or less length covered). If you use Walking Foot
you will have a nice stitching on the calico print backing.... then just
finish off with sashing strips (as explained in Lap Quilting). You would be
able to make something as small as a potholder, a table runner, a baby
quilt or if you are ambitious, a BIG project.
You are doing "stash reduction" and "quilt completion" in one step.
