My sister's church group makes quilts for homeless people out of whatever textiles they can. Maybe there is a group like that in your area.

Some people love to quilt with Silk. I would think that would sell well on the QB. I would sell what I could and donate or freecycle what is left. Ann in TN

I would find someone that would make something for others with it. Maybe the t-shirt material could be used to make sheets or something, etc. If you just want it gone, take it to goodwill, then someone may post on here about what a steal the found ;)

Heck... just realized you are in Texas. I think you are way further north than me (austin area).

I would 'love' to take that stuff off your hands, LOL!

I'd either Craigslist it or Freecycle it. If you prefer not to do either of those, I'd make some calls to see where it would be accepted for use. A few phone calls made before you start running around with it in your car, can make a huge difference. Don't move it till you KNOW where it's going!

Yeah the above. Not for me either but it might be something that you can make some money or trade for the fabrics you want. :thumbup:

I know its a lot, but could give it to people that make things for the needy, and those other groups...sometimes the thrift stores don't accept things like that. but to be sure you could find groups that would love to get them in your area.

and y'know we all would love to take them off your hands(hehehehe)
