Thanks I will get some Borax and use the tub to wash it...the washer does have a 'gentle' cycle on it and the dryer no heat cycle. I think if I can first clean the smell out then add the cheese cloth, I can clean it better then replace the wool square blocks. It is not a full sized bed quilt, more like a throw size...it seemed much bigger when I was a child. LOL! Very warm throw, and worth saving I think.
