The spool quilt top is done. I played with border ideas for and hour and decided finally to not add any. I've been sewing the backing and cutting the binding for quilts right away when I finish them. That way the backs and binding seem to match better. I can use fabric from the fronts before they disappear from my stash. 
The color in the picture of the backing is off a little the blues are more navy. I had to do some creative piecing on the backing. But I used up some stash.
Spool quilt all folded with the backing inside and the binding cut and marked. I can put it away and it will be ready for quilting when I get to it.

Very pretty quilt- I like the way you store them while they are awaiting quilting... I might have to try that for the ones I actually have backing for.
I have so many tops that I pieced years ago and no longer have any of the fabric for the binding. I've finally learned a lesson, and try to make the binding right after the top is finished - just like you are doing. It's a great idea - as long as one remembers where one put the binding!
Very nice top. I like the colors. Can't wait to see it finished.
My, my - you rascal you - you finished your top before MINE! Wahhhhh ... ok, I have one more border side to sew on , then .... sandwiching!
...one more thing ... it's really cool!
