In my case, I simply stopped going to fabric stores and stopped looking online (had stopped going to garage sales several years ago). That has helped a lot!
What strikes me as unusual about your case is the multitude of unfinished quilts. I think you need to learn how to do binding and then warm your heart by finding people/charities who can actually use your quilts. Maybe find ways to display some of your quilts in your house too.
Concerning binding, here are links to my favorite method by Leah Day for completely machine binding quilts (much faster than finishing by hand):

Those videos are great! I hate hand binding and even though I just started, I had only finished 2 quilts of the 6 I started and none of the tree skirts. Using this method, last night I bound 1 quilt and a tree skirt and I'm working on another. The videos make it soooo easy!! Sew twice around the quilt and you're done!
Good luck with everything though! I don't have much advice to offer as I'm stuck in a corner of my room while running downstairs to use the iron because that's where there's room! If I lived closer, I would definately help!
But you could always see if there's a fellow quilter, whether it be from a guild or church group that would be willing to help. They seem to have a better knack of organizing and what goes with what.
