While FMQ I have put words in the border as the quilting.
I have also done a couple of quilts with names on them/in the border.
Both of these are just raw edge appliqued on there the one (Liam) has quilting over it. I quilted the blanket with Jordan on it without a backing (top and batting were quilted) and then stitched the name on over the quilting, and then added the backing (chenille).
