These are going to be beautiful quilted.

Awesome find! It would be difficult to find some vintage yardage for the backing, so muslin would probably be the second best option. Though, I do have some vintage yardage, but I don't think it would work with your tops.

All are very pretty, you sure got a great bargain. Good for you.
Yes, I would back them with plain muslin and bind with a color to go with them, or close. To wash them I would spray with shout or something like it and soak for about 5 minutes and agitate just a few minutes, the soaking will soften anything that may be on them and loosen the stains, this is how I wash all my quilts. Good luck and enjoy them.

You bet it is high! We went down to the Ohio River and it is about 6 feet over the flood stage. It is receding now but there is more rain in the forecast. When you feel up to it and want to make a trip to Guhls get in touch with me. You are in my prayers.
Much love
Jenni

Wow! Great find at a great price! Either muslin, solids, or vintage-y looking backing.

What a wonderful deal. I love the idea of backing them with muslin.
