I dont think I would separate the blocks with a shshing,just use borders to finish it. As to quilting it cries out for hand quilting,and I would do straight lins like cross hatching. Just my opinion who is an older quilter ,78. That is how we did it back in the day. lol

What a treasure to find. My first thought was subtle green blender for sashing and mentioned. Take some blocks with you to a quilt shop and see what you like and enjoy the process of working on something your mother made. Can't wait to see pictures of your finished quilt.

I would leave them the way they are. That is what your mom had in Mind. Then I would put a border around it. My mom did these and used a sheet for backing. I am looking at one now hanging in my dining area. Pink and red hearts she did years ago. Trimmed in Pink and pink binding and white on the back. Send pic. when done. You will always think of your Mom when you look at it.
