I hope you realize what an incredible treasure you have. Only the Kuna Indians know how to make Molas and it is a technique that has not been shared outside of their culture. Looking at your pictures you have some very old traditional molas as well as ones made for tourists. You could actually spend some time researching what you have and then do trunk shows for guilds and other organizations. I would not make a large quilt from them. You could wash and then have some professionally framed with archival quality materials and air space around them. Possible make a blouse like the Kuna wear add as an accent on totes, or use to embellish a jacket. But spend some time learning about the treasure you have. You are a very lucky lady!
