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.

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 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.
