Hanging a quilt is most commonly done by attaching a quilt sleeve. A quilt sleeve will ensure that your quilt is well supported, particularly if the quilt is large, and will also ensure that no damage is done to the quilt by attaching clips in order to hang it.
Art quilts, though, are sometimes irregular shapes, so attaching a standard type of quilt sleeve will not always be practical. You will need to determine what is the best way to do this and you may need to be a little creative with the way you attach your sleeve.

Binding a quilt is usually one of the last things you do before the quilt is considered finished. There are a number of ways to bind a quilt:
Quilt binding can be wide or narrow, and the color can either contrast or blend with your quilt.
For art quilts, quilts that hang on the wall or quilts that will be used for decorative purposes, you can use any type of binding since the binding will not be tested.
For quilts that will be used such as bed quilts or lap quilts, double fold cross grain or bias binding tends to wear better and will give extra strength and flexibility.
