I understand when you have too many. Just keep a special one, even if you have to keep it in a box, and then find a good home for the others. Nursing homes can always use them. Some folks in nursing homes don't have any family left to bring them anything and one of your mother's blankets would mean a lot to them. Talk to the activity director. Also, there's a group in my area that makes them for foster children, so they have something of their very own and comfort to take with them as they move on to other homes. Check with your local DHS. Your mother's treasures can live on and bring much happiness to others and be a blessing to you.
