gifting a quilt with a sleeve?
If you`ve had it in a show do you remove the sleeve before gifting.
Not asking about wall hanging but quilts to be used. Just wondering?
Thanks Gale

I leave sleeves on retired show quilts and I also add them to non-show quilts before gifting. They don't interfere with the functional use of a quilt and they give the recipient the option of hanging the quilt in the off season or all the time if they so choose. Sleeves make quilts more versatile, not less.

I leave the sleeves on, in fact I've had a few people request I put one on for them. My daughter's wedding quilt has a sleeve, in the winter it is on the bed, in the summer it is on a rod hanging across the sliding glass door

I make my sleeves from the same fabric as the backing fabric and leave it on the quilt. It doesn't show with this method and isn't in the way; can be available if ever the quilt is hung someday.
