I would suggest not having them machine quilted. You should stick with the way it would have been in the 30's which is to have it hand quilted. I don't know if you have Amish out your way but they do a great job. I would use the muslin which they would have used back then. Also the quilting should be what was in then too. Of course, I am only suggesting this. Have fun with them. Make sure to have them labeled accordingly.
