Wow, this has been an eye opening thread! First I'm so sorry for your loss. I have been on this buying fabric binge for about a year now and I know my kids would throw it all away. My sister is the executor of my will and has just made her first quilt but I don't think she would want my stash, as for my sewing machines my son knows to sell them because they do have value. I guess basically I now have just bought my last bit of fabric and that I will start getting rid of the machines so that there is no resentment after I'm gone with what to do with my junk? Although they have each loved receiving a quilt when I made it for them.
