If you can't get them all finished before moving time donate them unfinished. There are organizations all over that will finish them and then donate them.

Someone here on the board or someone you might know probably needs quilting practice. Give them to those people first so they can hone their skills, then donate them to any of the worthy causes mentioned above. Who knows, once they're quilted, you may fall in love with them again!

All the suggestions are great, living in a cold Winter state, I always think about house fires too. We saw a friend watch every thing he owned burn up. We gave cash that night so he could buy a new set of cloths. Other donations later.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

We have a couple of hospice groups that take donations and will finish and give the quilts...you may have such groups in your town. Our guild also has a Country Store every year at our quilt show to sell UFO's.

Donate them to a quilting guild in your area if you do not want to finish them and they will usually finish them and donate them. Our guild does this whenever we get a donation of quilting material and unfinished quilts. It makes us feel so good to know we are making something someone else will be able to use.

Hooray for you, at least you are attempting to finish, yours, mine are still ,"put away".
I would finish them and then you might give them to charity, friends, or family. Someone always needs a quilt and color or design do not matter, as long as they have something to cover themselves with. Good Luck.

I would donate them to an organization like "Ronald McDonald House" or similar program for hospitalized children, a local hospice, local fire or police dept., I'm sure they would all welcome your donations.

I agree. I've had my OES group donate to the local Homeless Shelter and also the Women's Shelter.

Our local police department welcome donations such as this to take to accident sites, when children are removed from homes and I am sure many other instances.

What a wonderful problem to have!! Now that you've decided to donate them for chemo patients ... you're going to REALLY enjoy stitching lots of love and prayers into them! Enjoy!

Absolutely!! There are many organizations out there that would be happy to have them...such as a hospice??? :-)

Next time you drive by an old folks home, walk inside and ask if they have any Alzheimers patients that you could donate a quilt to. FYI:your quilt will be passed around and loved by numerous people. Simply because they can't remember who it belongs to. If they like it, they will claim it for their own. And when they put it down, someone else will pick it up and claim it. It's common practice in these homes. They are like children again. Your quilt will be the gift that litterally keeps on giving. Embroider "God Bless You" on the label. ♥

Donate them! There are so many places that would be thrilled to have them. My cancer center is always happy to have them for our friends doing chemo.

I agree with complete and donate.

You could post them here. I have seen a few sold in our classifieds, just make sure to say they are TOPs only.

:oops: I did it again.

Agreethat there are lots of places willing to take donations of quilts.

Donate them! They will find a loving home somewhere!

It's a wonderful feeling to make and donate a quilt to someone who is undergoing chemo. Knowing you are giving comfort in a work of love yet in a most practical way, is so satisfying.
If you find yourself needing help, keep me in mind. I love to do quilts for chemo and dialysis patients to honor my brother and sister.

I don't know the size but you might consider making them placemats for Meals on Wheels or neo natal quilts for the hospital. Table toppers might cheer up an elders room.

How about womens refuge or hospices. I sure they would be delighter to accept them .

I have stuff twice that old, and they eventually come into fashion again!!!!!

ALSO - look around for schools and community organizations that are teaching quilting to students. It'd be a great teaching experience to have them jump in and finish something from where you left off. I gave several UFO's to an organization that is teaching its resident unmarried teen mothers sewing and crafting; their goods are sold in local stores to help fund their programs as well as teach a livelihood to these folks.

finish them and give them to a church or homeless shelter and make them over size lap quilts so you have more to give. or give them to children that get displaced from their homes. that is what we did. good luck

I think Donate would be a good place for them

Donate to children's hospitals or to foster children.

when my MIL went to chemo, it touched her that SOMEONE(was a church) had made "a quilt for her for chemo"!

Any quilt guild would be happy to finish them up. I have been cutting some of very old quilt tops up to make vet quilts that are about 45" by 50".

donate the quilts to a group..thrift store, etc OR finish it and donate the finished quilt to some humanitarian group. my friends and i are making twin quilts for a Dove center...where abused famillies can stay.
