However, I wanted you all to take a look at these little beauties and tell me what you think.

Also, would you back them with a simple muslin and bind with a solid color?

I think I would use unbleached muslin just to keep them sort of in the time period.

Someone is smiling, happy that all that hard work found a home with someone who appreciates them so much... what a great find.

I think you definitely got a bargain and the muslin is the way to go!
