Now I have to figure out how to salvage these blocks. This is a process I should not need to incur.
I am sorry if my comments are upsetting to anyone. I am just highly sensitive to smoke smells.
All non-smokers are highly sensitive to smoke smells. It always amazes me that some - very few - quilters smoke. To go through all the cost of fabric, the time spent, etc. only to have your beautiful quilt smell like cigarettes.
