My kids are so worried about having to get rid of it when i'm gone, I'm going to leave them soooo much its going to make their heads spin and they will be cussing me out long after i am gone, and I will be watching from heaven and laughing my butte off. I hate daylight savings time.

I would get rid of the "why did I buy that" fabric? Keep all of the fabric that you like and find patterns and get busy and do as many quilts as you can. I have hundreds and hundreds of quilting books - probably won't make buy a few quilts out of all of them put together. Once in awhile, I do pull them out and look through them, but will not get rid of them. As far as I know, no one in my family is interested in quilting. My girlfriend will get all my quilting related things - what she doesn't want will go to a quilting quild for the members' use.

scrap quilts along the way, the more variety, the more
interesting it is, at least to me. You are my age also, and I
think we begin to realize we aren't going to make another
100 quilts, ha.

I think keeping 1/2 yard of each you like is reasonable. And if you have some that are excellent for either blenders or if they are very useful overall they might be worth keeping a yard's worth.
And if there are some you don't like at all pass those along, you most likely won't use them.
I think if you post here as some have suggested you would probably make out better than just a yard sale.
