I have put invisible sleeves on several quilts. That works better with a tied quilt or a do-it-myself quilt job. The top few inches of the backing are left loose and folded back. A lining is laid on and then the quilting is continued on those few inches of the quilt back and on the piece of back that was folded down. The edges of that lining is finished so it looks nice putting some of the backing fabric where it might show in the finished quilt. Then the binding is put on, including the now lined piece of back with the rest of the layers.

I took one of these to a quilt show and was scolded because I didn't have a sleeve on it. There is just a slit on each end of the top of the back.

You could sew in tab loops along the top...like tab top curtains.
