Depending on how you want it to look, you can also do it super simple (and cheap) by just hand stitching a roman shade ring to the back a few inches in from either side, and below the edge. I use this frequently and it works great. I needed it especially for the ones I hang in our local library, since they are hung on a concrete wall and I'm using the stick up hooks to display. My wallhanging quilts are lightweight and around 34" square so I placed the rings about 3" in on either side and made sure they were taut between the hooks so it didn't flop in the center. I know this isn't the most proper hanging technique but it does work.

Oops, I just re-read that and you said HOOKS - you mean the plastic hang up hooks - you can find them just about anywhere. They're from 3M and called Command Brand hooks. They work on just about anything and no holes. They have a sticky base that removes with no mess just by pulling on the bottom of the strip - "Damage-Free Hanging".
