Default My Great Grandmother Quilt

I have the pleasure to complete a quilt my great grandmother started in the 1930s. She hand stitched the blocks and my aunt asked me to finish it (She has had the blocks all this time and never did anything with them.) I would like to keep this as true to the period as possible and am not sure of the type of batting to use. The quilt blocks are in perfect condition - star design - and I'm so amazed at her skill. Each block meets perfectly with the other. I'm thinking of backing it with a cream high quality muslin. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'd love to show you a picture of part of the quilt I completed last night but I've been trying for 2 hours to upload a picture and it keeps failing.
