Question...I may have hit the jackpot
#21
Wow what a great deal!! as one suggested maybe you could ask if he would like some type of memory quilt done for him.. wouldn't that be wonderful for him.... I would have to take it all & then make sure he knows where you donated some to in their name of course.... it would probably make it easier for him that way so he didn't have to deal with it.....Great deal... you know we are all glad for you but green with envy!!!!

Take all the good quality cotton of course. Stretch the "cotton" definition and get a few to do the clothesline baskets with. See if there are flannels for all flannel quilts. (chenille and rag style) What about fabric for pillowcases? They don't have to be all cotton. Shopping bag fabric in something like cotton duct? Fleece for scarves for winter and the tied blankets. Don't forget about rotary cutters and blades, good scissors and rulers. What about thread? Sounds like a jackpot to me! Congratulations and post your photos.
P.S. make sure you wash everything in case you have guests.

What a wonderful man to give it all to you. Do you see a quilt in his future.. What a nice way to say thank you. If he does not like quilts, how about donating a quilt in his, his wife, and her mother's name?
