Any ideas?
Thanks.
Oh good golly, how much stash do you have? Project Linus, Newborns in Need, ConKerr Cancer; (they want pillowcases for kids). Quilts for Kids. (you can google any of these for local places). Your local police, sheriff or fire departments, CPS, if you live in a large city, hospitals for NICU, local veterans hospitals use wheelchair quilts. All of these are smaller quilts, they will burn thru your stash in no time, and you will have the satisfaction of helping someone. Don't forget homeless shelters or domestic violence shelters, contact your local police for info on how to contact them. (I have donated to all of these charities, so I know they will welcome your help and generosity.)
