ILoveToQuilt

I deconstructed an old (1940-50's) quilt top that was in desperate shape - many fabrics had disintegrated completely. I want to use some of the "good" fabrics in a quilt that I make (would be a wall hanging so no hard use). Should I use them seeing how the other fabrics didn't stand up to time or should I just forget about using them? I starched and pressed them very well but I was thinking I should use a fusible to make them more stable.

So my question is: use them or not? If yes, do I stabilize them with fusible interfacing?

Thanks for your suggestions. All are appreciated!
