Wow what stunning work. The molas would make a brilliant giant wall hanging or bed cover. I would not use Febreeze or any other chemical on them. Bung them in a bag with bicarbonate of soda (I think in America it is called Baking Soda) then shake out and they should be fresh as a daisy. Thanks for sharing such beautiful treasure.

We had a women come and talk to our group about Molas and she had them for sale. Her husband had been a missionary for the people and she now goes back and gets them to sale over here in the USA so that she can help the people. She had a darling quilt that had been made for her. It was sashed with fabric that had the wild beautiful colors in it. I wish I
had gotten a picture so I could share it with you. I have searched for fabric like it but never have found it. I purchased a
few from her and I love them. Have no clue what I will ever do with them. The lady lived somewhere in Fla. Maybe
there is a way to find her if you are computer smart. Oh my, I just had a brain flash. I found some info on her and here it is:: Jane Gruver The Mola Lady P. O. Box 1039 Penny Farms, Fl. 32079 904(284 0041) [email protected]

Hope this info helps. Maybe she can send a picture of her darling quilt. God Bless,

What spectacular pieces. You are so lucky. I would suggest putting outside to air as soon as it warms up. Not in the sun, just in nice air. It will work wonders.

What a tremendous amount of work went into these blocks. They are gorgeous and will make the most outstanding quilt. I'm sure if you quietly ask for her help she might whisper in your ear how to put these together. You will feel her around you as you work on what she worked so hard doing. Good Luck.

This collection is absolutely wonderful. You might be able to take away the 'old house' odor by putting them in the dryer with dryer sheets and one or two damp hand towels. I have a dress with a mola on it and it goes through the wash very nicely. However, I would consult an expert before considering washing your project after you make it. You can find a qualified person by contacting a quilt museum such as the one in Lincoln, Nebraska. They have a lot of helpful information.
