Consider nursing homes, foster care support organizations, adoption agencies, groups that work with resettlement of immigrants or refugees and so on in your community. My university as a support for foster children who have "aged out of the system" but registered students given a quilt for their dorm room made by a local guild. These students have very little of their own because they were in the care of a foster family not their own family.
Can any of the quilts be made as Quilts of Valor and given locally? Those civil war prints could be beautiful. Remember QOV does not need to be red, white and blue.
Just some ideas. I would love to buy fabric, bring it all home, and make just donation quilts but I am trying to bring my own stash down this year.
I would not donate a beautiful stash to Goodwill or Salvation Army. I would first do an "open house fabric sale" and invite the members of local quilt guilds. Then if anything is left donate.
In the end.....these ideas are only my opinions.
