Okay, so today I finished another scrappy quilt using a lot of old fabric from the 40's and 50's. I found this fabric in my MIL's basement. I hardly ever wash until I'm completely finished with the quilt, I like that puckered look, well this time the stink stuck around! I let it soak for an hour or so then put it through the wash, and it still smells "musty". Any ideas on carefully making a quilt smell better. P.S. I have used tons of her fabric in the past and never had this problem.

Arm and Hammer Washing soda or detergent
|
I used vinegar and baking soda in the wash and let dry in sun, took the smell out..

Drying it outside in the sun may help. It is a beautiful quilt.

Borax.

Yep, vinegar should help. Thanks.
