Other than the binding we are finished with these two quilts. We don't have any labels to put on them so that's out.
How would you applique the circle of material on a quilted quilt? The threads would go all the way through and that would be seeable.

An applique can be applied and no it doesn't need to go through the quilt. If you search for applique video there are tons of free videos on the net to show you how to do it. I would say a label also, is the best way to hide the spot. It only takes a second to write something out with a permanent pen and applique it on.
Similar to the advice above, I always prewash my fabric and then wash the quilt before gifting it.
Colorcatchers can be found in most laundry depts. in chain stores. I know my local grocery stores carry them as do WM etc.
