The quilt is really lovely. I hope that some day it will be used as a quilt.

I do this on one wall. The only down side is the teeth in the clips can dig into the fabric so it might not be such a good idea for such a special quilt. If you sew a sleeve on by hand, it's not difficult to remove later. Might be a lot less damage to quilt and only a couple of nail holes in the wall.

I vote for the curtain clips. I will show results of my use of them.

You could use some nice curtain rings that just clip on. Easy on/off kind.

OOPS! Didn't see the post before mine, but that is what I was talking about.

Your quilt is very pretty. They make all kinds of things to hang quilts with that would not damage it. I've seen a lot of suggestions here that will work wonderfully.

sounds like you have a lot of options, love the quilt.

I would never use push pins on a finished quilt. I would put a sleeve on the top and on the bottom. Hang from a rod and put a dowel/lathing strip (cut to fit) in the bottom. This should insure it will hang level, square and flat for as long as she wants it to hang. Then the sleeves can be removed or left on , they are not in the way to leave on the quilt.

You should be flattered. That is a very pretty quilt, and will make a beautiful wall hanging. I don't have any ideas about how to hang it, but I had to tell you how nice it is.

She doesn't need to send it back, have her get the clips, which she can find at a quilt shop or in quilting magazines that you attach to the wall.
