I, too am always one for re-purposing. This is a cool idea. Be sure and show us the finished project. What a fun find!

It will be much more beautiful hanging on a wall than sitting in an old book out of sight. Maybe some featherstitching at the seams would be appropriate. The fabrics remind me of old-timey crazy quilts.

I rescued a much more recent fabric sample book a few years ago, and would love to play with the fabrics, but found that they are attached to paper on the back using some kind of thick glue, and I haven't found any way to get that off.
