Veterans quilts and a little goldfinch

Most of my sewing time this weekend was at quilt club and I was able to finish these 2 veterans quilt tops. I've been working on them at sewing days since April. I'm really happy with them and for now they will hang in the to-be-quilted closet. But once they are quilted they will get red binding.
​

I also got 2 more veterans quilts quilted. This makes 6 for the month and that was my goal. For the next few weeks I'll work on some other projects on the longarm and give the veterans quilts a rest.

Betsy made both of these quilts. She loves little pieces, red and reproduction fabrics and her quilts are always very graphic. This one is a double 4-patch.
​

The Woven Wind pantograph is a really easy and fast one.
​

This one is also Betsy's. This is the third one I quilted for her. She's very prolific!
​

This one is unique because the block is rectangular.

I also got in a little time on the Goldfinch quilt. This type of pattern isn't for everyone but I'm enjoying it so far.

But I'm taking another detour the next day or so. I'm going to try to get a hiking backpack made before we go on a long hike Wednesday. I'm making it from an old pair of hiking pants. I have a vague idea of what I want it to be but I have a lot of details to work out.
