Default Mounting mini quilt on stretcher frame?

I have two mini quilts that would make nice wall hangings, but I don't care for the way mini quilts look when finished the traditional way with binding, etc. and then hung on the wall. They seem so flat and often curl up a bit and don't hang right. I like the idea of stretching them on a pre-stretched painter's canvas or a stretcher frame, so they won't be just flat on the wall, and are nicely stretched. Any advice or how to do this? (Or not do this, as the case may be.) Any other suggestions other than stretcher frames for hanging mini quilts? My quilts are quite traditional including hand quilted. Should I use something thinner, like felt and no backing, for quilting, so there is not so much bulk?
