What would you do with three huge boxes of fabric?

I would cut as much of it up into 6 x 6" squares and send it to the Patchwork Quilt shop in Australia who is raising money for the flood victims in Australia. That is what I am doing with mine. PM me and I can give you the address.

I am just so tired of having all this bulk around that I cannot manage, and will never do anything with. I was thinking of just taking these boxes to the local half-way house run thrift store, but wanted y'alls input before I do anything. Any ideas?
On the other hand, it is very calming to get rid of clutter, and this stash is "clutter" to you. So you could donate it just to be done with it.

little ones quilts - you know how they like the different textures to feel. I saw a column quilt last weekend from Nancy Zieman that would be adorable using these different materials. The local womens shelter or nursing home may enjoy having it too. PM me and I would take the silks for quilts for the police and fire departments to keep on hand for children.

Depending on the drapery fabric, I might use it for quilting, art quilts etc, mug rugs or even fabric postcards. Same with any of the other fabrics.
If you don't want them, donate to your local quilt guild and let them sort it out. Or freecycle it locally or as mentioned offer it on Craigslist for $ or for free.
