A long time ago I found a for-fun but usable "Quilters Last Will &
Testament", I think it was posted on the (now gone) World Wide Quilting Page
Bulletin Board. I don't know if the WWQP has a copy. It said, as I remember
it, that after family has taken what they want all the quilty friends should
be invited over to eat chocolate & go through the stash & divide it up while
saying nice things about the deceased. They should pack up anything not
wanted by anyone in the group and suggest where it should go, also give
advice on the value of items like sewing machines if no one in the family
wanted them. For example donate one pile to the "box under the bed project",
one to school art class, another to a senior center, one to 4H or Girl Scout
groups. They should then clean up the quilt area & leave the family with
some good stories about the deceased quilter and a task completed.

I spent the morning with a dear old quilter friend. She has an
extensive collection of old 30's and on vintage fabric and other
old quilt related 'stuff'. What kind of arrangements do folks
make for where this kind of stuff would go after they pass.
