I do this as well. I try to match the sleeve with what the backing is. Since it's hand sewn on, it can always be easily removed.

I'd put a sleeve on the back. That way the pull is evenly spread across the top and the piece will not stretch over time.

To be honest, I have one of my sons baby quilts hanging up in his room. I put it up there with push pins. |

I like the drapery clips on a rod.

I just purchased quilt hangers from connecting threads on sale a pair for $3.83. Good luck

Nice quilt.

I have a wonderful antique cathedral window quilt I use as a wall hanging up behind my bed. When I created the sleeve, I sewed the sleeve by hand so the stitches wouldn't show on the front.
I've also added sleeves by machine on other wall hangings that I could bury the stitches..... just made sure the stitch length was loose (3.0) so when I decide to remove the sleeve it will be easily accomplished with my seam ripper. |
