Loved your quilt and by all means donate all that fabric to a quilting group or someone who makes them for charity. If some of the fabric is red, white, or blue, there are charities that donate the quilts to veterans. Also, thrift stores (if not libraries) will take books. My favorite FISH store has a whole room devoted to books. And thanks for the link to using elm seeds. It snows elm seeds every year in my yard, so your information about cooking them is perfect. It hope it's not too late. I don't walk around my lower property anymore. BTW, your living room full of boxes looks far more organized and neater than mine. I'm sure my stuff moved out of the back bedroom has become a rat warren. FEH!
Must feel great to be home! I dispose of unwanted books in Little Free Libraries or at Goodwill. As for unwanted fabric, consider donating to SCRAP: https://portland.scrapcreativereuse.org/
Of course not tossing books. Goodwill or the library book sale. Scrap may take the quilting books.
Scrap only wants cloth that is fat quarters or a yard or more with selvage, which I often cut off as I am saving selvedges for a quilt I’ll never make.
I can donate to the free table at Northwest Quilters, but I have quite a lot and can only carry so much to the monthly meeting. So that will take months.
I think about where to send my beloveds all the time.

Glad to be of help with the elm seeds. The window of opportunity may be closed for this year, especially as you are farther south.
My local quilt guild makes quilts for veterans. I can donate scraps at the monthly meeting. It will take a long time to move my mountain.
Pica poles, once so indispensable, are now curiosities. Funny how the world turns.
Pica poles are great! Lucky that you have one!
