I'd appreciate some advice!

What a treasure to have! I think I'd just do the binding with no borders too if the quilt is big enough for what you want to use it for. Or with something this special by your GGM maybe it will just be displayed and not actually used so the size doesn't matter. Show us pictures when you're done, please?

The size doesn't really matter to me: it's close enough to a twin size that I'm going to put it on the daybed in the guest room. And I'm going to hand-quilt it, with my name and date, and her name and (approx) date.

In my opinion, you would best honor your GGM by leaving her work intact, not adding to it, just batting (preferably with cotton), quilting, and binding it as is. It's very pretty!

My daughter also inherited one similar. It has the rounded edges because the blocks are rounded. We don't know how to finish it off. She asked me (she hand quilted it). (She's 18.)
So how DO you finish off such a quilt?
