I know it would be difficult, but a knife edge binding would go best with the age of the quilt. Batting is trimmed back 1/4th inch smaller than top and back, then top and back seam allowances are turned in and hand stitched right along the edge. We did our Grandmother's Flower Garden that way last year. It was well done, looked beautiful, and kept the edge of each flower showing. No need to match anything.
