Lovely quilts, you should try the hand quilting, it's really relaxing and I think muslin would be great for the back on both. It comes bleached and unbleached. I use them both. Unbleached I use for the more antique look. It's more of a creamy look. Your daughters will love to have them.. Be sure and label them as to who pieced and quilted them and the year if possible. Never can have too much information on these timely creations.
