I use the sleeve method. I make my sleeve a few inches shorter than the width of the quilt on each side. I stitch the sleeve to the top of the quilt right before I attach the binding. I also use a dowel inserted in the sleeve. You can use small finishing nails to hold up the dowel underneath the quilt. This way all you see is the quilt, no dowel, no hanger. Personally I don't like quilt hangers at all. I think they can detract from the quilt. And I tend to like contemporary quilts anyway;>
