I have an old quilt that is not in the best of shape, but that did't stop me from displaying it. I look at that quilt, like someone with a lot of character. Maybe you could fold it, with the best parts showing, and put it on a shelf or in a cupboard with an open door.

I would only cut it up as a last option.
