Welcome from NW Wisconsin!
I think you should take stock of your sad/guilty feelings about not doing something will the fabric.
If it is really burning you up, then find somewhere to give it all away to, and wave bye bye to those feelings. Goodwill takes fabric and partial projects. Lots of folks on this Board find wonderful stuff at Goodwill.
Or, if having the fabric around is not bothering you too much, then organize it a little, pack it up so it won't get mildewy, and just let it wait. You might come back to it, or you might not. But, in any case, if it sits for enough years, it will be valuable as antique or vintage fabric! You might have a gold mine there in 40 years!
