I've made many quilts with sleeves and my method is to fold the sleeve in half, long raw edges together, and sew that top edge on while sewing my binding to the front. Then when I flip the binding to the back and hand sew, the top egde of the sleeve is done. All I have to attach by hand for the sleeve is it's bottom edge.

I'm wondering if anyone knows whether there should be a problem with this method for a show quilt? I imagine I can email the show contact person and ask, but I like asking here first. :)
This is the method I use and it has been fine for a show quilt.
