I can see pale yellow for a sashing or the off white muslin. Those are great blocks!

I immediately thought muslin too! On point, cool. What a fantastic find- it has such a history for the quilt it becomes.

Yes, I think I would use natural colored muslin too. Those are such nice blocks. Your aunt is lucky to have a relative who is going to make a quilt with them. (too nice to stay in a box in the closet---lol)
