on how to finish this Lone Star. The star is hand pieced. I don't believe there is a single piece of 100% cotton fabric in the top. A dear friend wants me to finish it for her daughter for Christmas. I was made at least 20 years ago by my friend's late mil. I don't know if the beige fabric is naturally beige or has darken over the years. Also suggestions on how to whiten/brighten the star would be helpful.
