I like to incorporate the label right into the backing. My quilts aren't in great demand or anything, but one of the reasons the author gives is that no one can remove the label without defacing the quilt.

She mentions the reason she uses this method here:

As for handwriting, I can't seem to write normally on fabric, even when I've fused it to freezer paper. So whatever hand writing I put on it is definitely nowhere near my usual handwriting. If anything I would write it out on paper and then print it onto fabric sheets. I was able to make a quilt label using my handwritten name pretty easily using EQ Stitch.
