I would think anything made of fabric would fade a certain amount over a period of time. I had fabrics on open shelves in my other house. The window was north facing and the room never got any direct sun. But when I moved and refolded the fabric, a lot of it had faded marks where it had been folded. I would suggest not having it hanging for long periods; maybe rotate some seasonally. I know I have had curtains made out of plain cotton that faded, but they had been at the window a few years, of course being taken down to wash and then rehung.
