I'd love to see a picture of yours.
Okay I'll post a picture. One thing I was going to add on most of our vintage quilts the binding was cut from the same fabric as the backing. The backings are mostly colored muslin. It is so soft when worn a little.
You can see the bad spots on the quilt. If one part of the star is bad, the whole star needs to be replaced. This quilt is not large and I asked my daughter if she would like to have a border on it so it would be larger and she said it is the perfect size to cuddle up with on the couch to study or watch a movie. (She is almost finished with her Masters.)
