I would add a close fitting sleeve for a dowel to the bottom of the quilt. Be sure to make the hanging mechanism very sturdy (both on the wall and on the quilt) as the combination of weight plus moving stuff in and out of pockets will be stressful. As stated above, don't have too much slack in the pockets. OH, and reinforce the top corners of the pockets very well. Personally, I would use rivets. I make a lot of bags and use these. Very inexpensive and the attaching tool is inexpensive too! Here's a good tutorial.

With quilting cottons, you don't need the punch, just a tailor's (or woodworking) awl to make the hole.
