I would mend the border and the tiny hole. If the border is too difficult, if would be a good (if unusual) place for the quilt label. I wouldn't worry about the stains, after all it is an old quilt top. They just add character, and you can have a wonderful time telling the story about how you happened to acquire the top. LOVE the log cabin!!

I got a old quilt that had a few stains and smelled musty like a trunk. I soaked it in the machine overnight in dawn ultra dish soap, about 2T and about a 3/4 c of soda. I pretreated the stains with dawn before and rubbed them a little. It came out real well. I washed on gentle and hung it out to air dry in the shade. One woman that is all she will wash her quilts in is dawn ultra.
