I don't want to wash them before sewing them together and I don't think I can work on them as they are.

I was excited to see I got a few embroidered ones since I don't do that. Thanks Red for doing the swap
A friend told me to mix half white vinegar and water and spray the blocks with that...I did and left them overnight and then they were fine the next day, with just the faintest hint of vinegar. The fabreeze did nothing to mine. Give that a try?
