Oh, wow, they are gorgeous! Maybe you could learn to quilt them now. Sell one and buy backing and batting for some more. Choose the ones you like best and keep them.

If you are overwhelm with too many tops, this charity does finish quilts and donate them to areas where the quilts would be appreciated after a disaster.

Oh wow! That is so sad they did not want them because they are beautiful and I'm sure they were all stitched with love. You would have thought they would have kept them for the memories.

My church has a sewing ministry making quilts for the homeless and my sewing bee does a couple service projects each year, one of them was to make Linus quilts. So perhaps if you contact several churches, your local quilt stores and your local quilt guild you might find people who would want some of these quilts to finish up as charity quilts. Save the ones you love and want to finish and donate the rest.
