Sandra, maybe some of your group can take the worst tops and rework them to where they are ready to be quilted?
Reverse sewing is never that fun but there is a sense of satisfaction to the process. I get most of my fabric from thrift stores, some times I get tops or UFOs, and some are very challenging to fix. You can cut blocks down to a consistent size, you can frame them to make them larger, and you can just fudge in this or that here and there.
In my bag now I take to my small group is a top I recently purchased. It is a baby block quilt in what I think are early 80s maroon and pink and it is overall well made but I think the quilter lost interest (and I think part of that is because the maker didn't put the light part of the block on top) and slapped on a close but not quite right poly border. I am going to be taking that off. I might cut it off or I might frog stitch it, need to measure it a bit and make some decisions. Then I will put on a new border, no it won't be solid, it will be a related color print.
For another top I recently picked up, well the workmanship was pretty awful but they had great pieces of fabric. Some large usable ones, some smaller sashing ones. That one wasn't recreated, it was just turned back into fabric which did get used pretty much right away. They aren't all worth saving just because they are done.
