I think that I'd finish the one that is just a top. A top that isn't a quilt just doesn't seem to be complete. Many quilts have been quilted years after by later generations and if you choose the backing and binding carefully, I can't see that it would lower the value of this family keepsake.

Awesome treasures and I'm happy that you appreciate them. They are beautiful!
I just can't wrap my brain around something made by a family member "not matching the decor".
I hear that a lot but I don't get it!! lol :D
Thanks for sharing, I love vintage quilts!
