Just use the ones you want and use hers on certain occasions (ex:no dippers for the night cause you forgot to buy some, he has a rash/diarrhea)

i would just ignore it, she is obviously happy and excited you are pregant and is probably trying to be useful in a way that she can.  if anything, i have a few in case the baby has a bad diaper rash, and since she is making so many, dont feel bad if you throw one away.
you could also find something that you would prefer her to make, since she is good at sewing and ask her to make the baby a quilt, or find some cute patterns that you would love to have for the baby.  
that way she feels included and you have some peace of mind at the same time.

I tell my mother in law how it is because she tries to over step her boundaries why to much. Plus she lives in our house and takes advantage of my husband! As bad as this sounds I'd probably punch her if I was pregnant!

My boyfriends mother is always so pushy about stuff like that too, I don't have the chance to tell her no before she throws whatever she wants me to do for my son down my throat and it's hard because you want to maintain a good relationship with her I'm sure. I would talk to your husband and let him know your feelings and maybe you, him or both of you can just talk to her, tell her you'll gladly take them in case you choose to use them but because you don't have a washer and dryer you think disposable diapers will just suit you guys better! Good luck!
