Removing Mold Odor From Quilt Blocks

We live in an apartment, and during our intense winter the ceiling in our storage room developed a horrible leak. Mold developed only in the ceiling, not on any objects in the room (we had to dodge buckets all winter long when we went looking for anything). So everything in the room has an odor. YUK. We kept extra school supplies in storage, so I don't know if we can get the smell out of books and papers, but what I am SO SAD about is all my craft stuff was stored in that room.

I have fabrics that I could put white vinegar in the load to cut the smell, but I have some quilt blocks that I am afraid to wash because I don't want the edges to fray. They got shoved in a bag, so they are wrinkled - I don't want to make my ironing board stink when I iron them. Should I make the quilt and then wash it, hoping I can get the smell out? Is there anything else I can do? Thanks in advance for any advice I get.
