Those of you making quilts, all the scrap wadding can be torn up and used to fill dolls and other stuffed toys.Stuff it in nice and firm.Works great and saves having to buy toy filler.

Good idea, mpo. I haven't made a stuffed toy for ages. *4U

Have done that and sometimes did the toy filler at the outside, the torn up scraps on the inside, just to make sure the toy did not show bumps. For cushions I use to sheets of wadding, filled with torn up remnants.

Good suggestion. They can also be used to make hot pads or even maybe coasters.

I even stitched a couple of pieces together with a zig zag stitch to make a small quilt.
Done that too.

Thanks for that interesting and great idea. Will keep that in mind, I hate to throw anything out anyway.
