Depends on the size of the quilt, but the last one I did was a wall hanging which was 14 inches wide. I used quilt binding in a complimentary color and put them on the back under the binding in the seam allowance. Then when the binding was folded to the back the tabs were concealed where connected, they were placed so that there was no drooping and I was quite happy with this method. Similar to adding a hanging pocket, just that there are only the tabs. The suggestion to use plastic rings sounds like a terrific idea and I think I might try that on the next one.
