My sentiments, exactly ... denim is not a good choice for quilt back, too heavy. I have made numerous wall art quilts that were sandwiched with cotton batting and backed with cotton fabric, they hang fine. If this is an exceptionally large quilt, a narrow rod pocket can be added to the bottom of the quilt (in addition to the hanging sleeve on top). A wooden dowel inserted into the bottom rod pocket will add enough weight to keep the quilt straight and flat against the wall.
