Good luck with restoring your antique quilt. I have a postage stamp quilt that my husbands grandmother made in the 1920's that has several worn almost gone blocks and I'm not doing anything with them, but I'm replacing the binding that is in shreds. The fabric I picked out is just a smidgen darker than what was used in the quilt but I'm not worried about that. We just want to display the quilt in the guest room.
