If it is very heavy, maybe put two hanging sleeves on the back to distribute the weight?
I have an antique tapestry that belonged to my grandparents hanging above my fireplace. I just hand sewed a sleeve on the back and used one of the HangitDangit hangers. It's works great and is not intrusive at all.

After reading the rest of the posts, I'd say that you could put it between plexiglass and plywood but you would have to cover the plywood to make sure it's no leeching into the fabric and also it would probably be best to seal the edges. If you leave it unsealed there is always the possibility of bugs getting into it and you might not notice with it displayed that way. I'm not sure about damaging the quilt by having it squashed between the glass and the back. It seems like that might be hard on it.
