Too Many Tops!

The tops, they are accumulating:
Not so bad, you say? Here's the rest of the story (plus one on the design wall):
5 of my creation and a vintage/antique(?) I intend to repair, then quilt. Can you spot the MEQ?
So today this one was chosen to advance to the pinning table:
The selection technique is highly scientific: I have bindings for 3 quilts prepared and wrapped around one shuttle, and this one's is on top.

The backing fabric (flipped back over the top for the photo) was a delightful GoodWill/Op Shop find: an IKEA duvet cover. Once the seams were picked out, it yielded several yards of 80"-wide 100% cotton goodness. I still have plenty left to back a second quilt, which will probably be the uppermost flimsy shown in the top picture.
