Wow! that is quite a stash your church inherited! Our guild is helping out a high school FACS class with a quilt project and for those kids that can't afford the project (which we all know quilting is expensive!) several of us have raided out stashs--so far we've come up with 14 complete tops, at least 5 backings (with more to come) 7 bats (with more to come) and that is just from a few---more are digging through their stashes. Think we are all so happy about getting rid of the excess--and of course we all still have too much! but it felt great pulling out such a big "chunk" of stash that was not being (maybe never) used and these kids are excited--future quilters!
