What a treasure to find the stored afghans at your mother's. As the others have said, I would leave them intact. Next I would try to place some more of them with relatives or your mother's friends. I would store them for future grands. (I am storing at least ten baby afghans for my future grandchildren, and my mother has been gone for almost 26 years.) If you still have too many to keep or store, assisted living or nursing homes would be my pick to place them. Those homes always have residents in need of a throw and many who don't have relatives to care for them. Good luck on your task. You must carefully make each decision so as not to be upset with the outcome at a later date.
