One other suggestion from me would be to add a full width sleeve for hanging it. It's the best way to evenly support the full weight of the piece without the risk of distortion over time. You can make it narrower than this tute suggests since it's not for a show entry, but make sure to sew the top edge at
least ½" below the top of the binding (I go ¾" to 1" below) or the sleeve will show above the quilt when hung.
