Yes, 100% cotton would be wonderful and will pucker up when it's washed. Use muslin on the back.
Once you have it all done and bound get Vintage Textile Soak and wash the quilt in a front loader only on cold water. Throw in a couple of Shout Color Catchers to pick up any dye that may bleed. Lay it out on a sheet to dry or hang it on a clothesline - fluff it in the dryer for about 15 mintues on low or air dry.
You will be amazed how even more beautiful it look then!
Good luck!
