You can do this on your bathroom scale also. Or simply fold the quilt and weigh it by itself. It will weigh the same whether it's folded or held up.
My hanging sleeves are shorter than the quilt by about an inch. I use a wood dowel or flat thin wood boards, whatever I can find that will work. Put an eye hook in each end. Then I can hang it on nails, or command hooks, or whatever I have handy. If it's a large quilt such as queen or king, I put a cutout in the center part of the hanging sleeve so I can add another hook to support it.
