if you do not mind sewing with it, and you have the time, then yes, take it and make some quilts and donate them to shelters, care centers, homeless.......i would never turn down fabric that i could pay forward..........

Thanks for all the advice, when I read how warm they are, it just gives me that warm and loving feeling I find in quilts. Now for me to get busy and make some, maybe a winter project though.
