I have 4 tops with backings and bindings ready to complete.  They are tops the grand kids made when they were younger.  Two are William's when he learned to chain piece charms and download embroidery designs to the sewing machine.  I finished them and incorporated his blocks with the embroidery designs.  There ended up being 2 quilts, because he really got into the chain piecing.  The other quilt is Emily's, she did the jelly roll quilt and it turned out very pretty.  I made the backing and incorporated a floral wreath she drew when she was about 9 or 10 and I copied the front of her graduation booklet, which she helped design,  to fabric.  She's going to be so surprised.  The 4th and last top is one I made for a quilt shop display and just never got around to the backing and binding.  I ordered the backing and binding for the wq today.  I have finished the decorative stitches on the kitchen towel, a hanging towel and have the blocks done for a table runner and fabrics for a hot pad for the shower gift.  I may actually get everything done by the end of July.  I'll post photos when everything is done.
