when a sleeve won't work for me i use tabs evenly spaced across the width of the quilt fastened with large buttons- i tried the velcro, but my quilt was too heavy.
i put some sort of sleeve/hanging tabs on almost every quilt i make. my daughter's huge king size dragonfly quilt has a sleeve and they use the quilt on the bed during the winter and hang it over their sliding glass doors as drapes in summer
