Let's see.....
Ever hemmed a skirt? Sewn on a button? You can do it.
Fuse the label down. (Ask you local fabric store for help buying a very light weight double fusible.)
For the quickest, easiest, beginner way, sew around the edge of the label with a running stitch.
Let your stitch go through just the backing so it doesn't show on the front of your quilt.
Hide the first and the finishing knots underneath the label.
