Advice needed for binding on old quilts
I was given these two quilts about 6-8 years by a friend who was given them by a client of hers. She knew I quilted and loved all things quilted so she asked if I wanted them. YES! The are hand sewn and quilted by hand and finished except for the bindings.
I would like to finish them up but am not sure what to use for the binding. Here is the first one with a picture of the center medallion. The pink fabric is like a sateen finished cotton. Very soft. Would this look okay bound in muslin?

This next quilt's background fabric is a pale yellow fabric and the backing is pale pink. Both are light weight material. Would this be okay bound with muslin as well?

These quilts are beautiful and I want to add to not take away from their value/attractiveness. Thanks for all your suggestions.
