What are the dimensions of this top?
If it were mine - what I would do next with it would depend on the condition of the fabrics and whether it is laying more or less flat.
I kind of like it - this is what I think of when someone says "scrap" quilt.
If it looks like it could handle being used, I think I would layer it as usual. From the picture, it looks like it was assembled in rows. I would stitch in the ditch on those seam lines. Then tie it. I would finish it with a narrow binding.
You could add a border - but I am thinking (I do not know for sure) - that this type of quilt either had the backing brought to the front - or it might have been "birthed" - with no binding at all.
If it seems too fragile to use as a quilt - it is an interesting conversation piece.
I have a top that I made of brushed arnel that looks a lot like that waiting for me in a box.
