Just my two cents, but I would think doing it as a badge would make each blanket have a stiff, not-so-comfy spot where the tag is.
I would do them as a quilt label - just use a good linen or muslin, and perhaps put a simple floral or other border around the writing. Be sure to leave space between each on to give them room to turn edges under or stitch in some way to keep the labels from fraying.

Subject: [HookedOnEmbroidery] name tags
Once again I'm asking fellow embroideriers for their help..I have been
contacted by a local group to make "name/gift tags" for the fleece
blankets they are making for terminally ill patients...they would like
to sew these tags to the corner of the blankets...and asked if I could
embroidery the tags...where would I begin? there would be only two
lines and about the size of 2 x 2..would I just embroidery these lines
on a linen/muslin cloth then cut them out to size for them to sew on or
would I embroidery the backgound with the lettering on top such as a
badge? Any suggestions will be a great help...marcia in pa
