    Beautiful wall hanging, you did a fantastic job. How about mounting it on 1/4 inch plastic core board, like the stuff they make for organizing your fabric. The boards that you wrap your fabric around and can then stand them up on a shelf. This would give the quilt stability without adding weight. Attach a 3M hook on the back and then hang. This would display your work, wouldn't weigh a lot and shouldn't make a big hole in the wall.

    Like DottyMo suggested- put them together just like one does when putting a kite together. Looks great.

    I use this on all of my small quilts and when you want to move them you just pull it off the wall no damage

    Believe it or not I just staple my quilts to the walls. The staple leave such a small hole it is barely seen. That way I can staple the corners down so it lies flat on the wall.

    Command Strips are a great idea! I never thought of it.

    I have a wall hanging I modified from a Christmas tree skirt. I had a flat top, but the points would sag. I sewed a small piece of velcro on the offending corner, then placed a piece of Command strip velcro to the wall. It won't hold up a whole quilt, but those points stay flat!
