This is what a lot of quilt shops do to display quilts.
I would not do this - there is a lot of weight to hang from 4 pins. There can be a problem with sagging and stretching. For a wall quilt, sure, but not a bed quilt. I would not put my quilt in a shop that did this. Although I once bought an antique quilt that had been NAILED to the wall for display - had to borrow a hammer to get it down.
