What do you do with your small batting pieces?

I  lay them out butting them together and then iron fusible interfacing on top.........fuses them into 1 piece then I don't have to sew.  What do you do with your batting scraps?

that's a really good idea - i wouldn't have thought of that!
i sometimes use them as stuffing for little softies

I make coasters .. http://www.busybeequilters.com/QuiltedCoasters.html
I also use them in dolls quilts. Layer them and use them in potholders.

I zigzag the pieces together and use them for quilting.  Once they are quilted in place you would never know it wasn't one big piece. 

I use them for felt ornaments and sew keychain rings onto the ornament. I also put it under a letter applique to initial items for my children. They really like to see their initials in a fancy fabric on their special homemade items.

Please include me in FFF. Thanks! (:

Have you thought of using them to make a rag quilt, if they are big enough? I have a bit saved for just that purpose.

I have the kids shred them and stuff pillows with them- they love to make pillows for their beds and their dolls!

When you zigzag them together are they laying on top of each other, like if you were doing to pieces of fabric together, or like next to each other with the zigzag big enough to catch both sides?

Small pieces of batting are great for a number of things. . .for the larger pieces (10"+), I sandwich between two pieces of "scrap" fabric or muslin, cut to the same size and practice machine quilting. Also, American Patchwork & Quilting has a great tutorial for a holiday door hanger [http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/projects-ideas/bags-pillows/snowman-door-hanger_1.html] and great towel roll critter shapes; there's a fun seastar, duck and a frog. . .the pattern is in the Summer 2008 Quilts & More magazine.

These are such great ideas! Thanks!

If they are a really wonky shape i toss them. Otherwise i wait for a small project to do. I just did a coffee cup mitt with some.Or i save them and quilt over them in the next project that i do.  I LOVE!!!!!! the arrange and fuse idea! So brillant.

I use my ruler and cut the edges straight.  Then I butt the two pieces of batting together and use a zig zag stitch going back and forth between the two pieces.  This way you don't have the overlapping bulk.

I've read that if you cut the edges on a slight diagonal, that also helps to disguise the seam between the two pieces when you use in a quilt...  You don't necessarily want your batting seam to be lined up with your quilt top seam.  A good way to get the pieces straight is to overlap the edges slightly, then cut both pieces at the same time...then you can puzzle them together in case you didn't get the cut completely straight.

I've used some of my larger remnants for small doll quilts, and some of the smaller pieces for potholders. If you use two pieces of the batting, they are thick enough to use as potholders!

These are great ideas. I actually have a few long strips of batting left over from a quilt I made over Christmas break. I was thinking of saving them for softies, but now I have some other options too! Thanks!
