I might just try that!!! All but one block is mainly just extremely dusty...I was thinking about zig zagging around the edges of the blocks and then soaking them and a gentle rinse and let them air dry.

What a wonderful idea to make wall hangings out of them. I love the blocks. What a great treasure you have been given to work with.

She does have other blocks besides these :wink:
She has some that I am trying to talk her into getting out...they are really different...I have never seen the circular centers like them any where before... I would love to try and replicate those :D :D :D
