Default Heirloom quilt

This unfinished twin size quilt was recently found in my husband's grandmother's trunk. It is not known if his grandmother made it or if it was made by his great-grandmother. Either way it is at least 100 years old. Various fabrics were used--silk-satin-cottons. This has all been hand stitched onto feed sacks. I was going to display it on a quilt rack as is. Does anyone else have any other ideas? Would it be better to have my husband make a glass/wood shadow box to display it ?
