I'd keep the silks for crazy quilts, pincushions, etc. I would call local schools and senior centers to see if anyone wanted the other stuff.

But, I guess it's a personnal choice.

Our local church uses everything for their charity quilts. Perhaps one of your locals would accept it, or atleast some of it.

Is it useable for Dresses for Africa. Nancy's Notions has all the details. A yard or less makes one dress. Just an idea. This week I have made 54 dresses with "cleaning out the unwanted".

Our charity group uses cottons for kids quilts and gives everything else to the Indians who make great use of it.
