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.

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

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".
