A couple people beat me to suggesting a quilting class. The only problem is that you WILL get hooked. Then you'll take a paper piecing class and an appliqué class and a quilting class and some project classes. Find your way through all of that and decide what you like to do the best. Then sift though your bounty. Nothing says you have to finish every piece that your friend/relative didn't finish. Join your local quilt guild. Maybe you can get some help finishing some and donate them. I've seen quilt tops at auctions that the winning bidders are SO happy to get their hands on. (and then you have a few bucks for more classes!) The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!
