Five Generation Quilt

This is the oldest of The S’s half finished projects.  About 100 years ago my great grandmother’s mother aunts and maybe grandmother got together to make a multi-generational quilt to give to their daughters.  The plan was to put the quilt together and use it and remember the family. My grandmother pieced hers with homespun linen and saved some of the blocks for her daughter. The quilt my grandmother made her squares are the ones with the thirties fabrics. 

 
These are actually quite cool to have around however maybe it’s time to finish the quilt? Now here is my dilemma ... what to do? Make more blocks as my great grandmother intended? Just sew what we have together? Use new fabric or old fabric?
