To get the stretched fabric back to shape wet it, let dry, then press, making sure not to stretch those bias areas. Be sure to take a before and after picture for later evidence of your efforts!
My vote is for stay stitching. This is something that I learned long ago when garment sewing and use it in quilting when I have a bias edge on the outside. You're starting with a vintage quilt, but when I'm making a new quilt, I do this as I construct a block so that it never gets the chance to stretch out of shape.
