This quilt has that vintage look so should look great in a farmhouse. I love it and think they will too. Great job and nice gift!

I did not do either as most of them were precut by me into 5" squares, years ago. I used 1/4" seams and told them to wash on cold and dry on low or line dry. They did very little fraying while working with them. I've had more fraying with Kona cottons.
