After you decide which pen you will use (practiced first) make sure you iron it to set the ink. You could make a separate label (as a test) and then sew to chart????

I woud do a label separate and hand stitch it to the quilt. That way if you screw up the writing you can do it again. I would try a Sharpie with a fine tip. Bonnie hunter was talking about doing labels for her quilts and I like her idea. She uses a square of muslin that she folds in half to make a triangle. She sews the 2 raw edges into the corner of the quilt when she machine stitches the binding on. She then hand finishes the binding onto the back, writes her message on the triangle and hand stitches the bias fold to the quilt back.
If you go to Youtube and watch her QuiltCam from last week, she was doing one for the baby quilts she was doing the binding on.
