I do the same, bigger pieces I use for quilts, the rest I trim according to size, use them for placemats, hot pads, pot holders, coasters, mug rugs, etc. I hate to throw anything away, I can always use it for something.

I started winding a wad around my hand and put into a bag then added over top of it in another direction etc and then realised I had the inner to a cushion! So I have made my own cushion wadding with my bits or I use them for doll quilts and small projects once I zig zag them together.

WHen I finish a project, I cut my leftover batting into as wide a strips and I can. I wind them around cardboard, and keep adding to it secure with a pin until I get more. I have cardboard that measures 18 inches, and keep a cardboard for each size. I save nothing smaller than one inch wide. I will zigzag them together when I make smaller projects or wallhangings that do not get wash very frequently.
