One of the tops has some staining on it which I have addressed in the main section and asked for cleaning tips. 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.
