A lot of excellent answers above to help you choose what you want to do, I only wanted to say I really like your quilt. It's so cool and it really doesn't sing out that "first quilt" to me. Good luck on the next steps.

Nice to hear that this experimental project doesn't turn folks off - believe me, it was a random inspiration that looks nothing like the "class quilt" top I had been struggling to tackle over the fall months.
That one I gave up on - after stitching together about 7-8 different traditional blocks. Meant to be a sampler, but I really disliked the material and just went "ugh" and set that aside. Might turn those blocks into little pillows for my dog or something....!

I h ad to be able to remove a baby quilt from my bed ( that was where I had to baste it together) and I placed the quilt on top of a cardboard folding cutting board. Used binder clips all the way around the edge of the cutting board, holding the top, batting and backing together to the board.. Then I pinned . I had to remove the quilt before I was done, so I just folded the cutting board with the quilt and clips, worked great.
It 's looking good to me. Get that other one out and finish it too. You will be surprised how good they look when finished. You need the practice just like all of us do.
If you have space to store, try using two identical ironing boards placed side by side to keep the quilt off the floor and level. I would use spray basting in a well-ventilated area.
