What are P.I.G.S. ?

 


We quilters seem to just love acronyms.
P.I.G.S. as many of you know, is Projects In Grocery Sacks !
I seem to have projects in every kind of sack.
Here are flannels shirts bits in a store bag featuring paw prints.



Another is in a batting bag.


One big project is in a reusable shopping bag.



The project featured today 
came to me in a grocery bag!
It was given to a friend who in
turn gifted it to me since 
there was no pattern in the bag.


This assortment of fabrics
with almost half made into
this basic block.


There  appears to be enough fabric 
for two twin size quilts.
One will use all of the same color gray.
 The next will have a variety of gray using pieces from the first 
top and some additional gray that was in the bag.


Here is the first.
I did add an additional row
and call him after it came off the design wall.
It will finish 62 by 71.
This is just about the perfect size for 
a twin bed with great coverage on the sides.

I decided to use the first top as a pattern for the second.


Working late into the night. I ended up repeating
 one of the rows so it needed a redo that the next morning.

The second top will be stitched up 
while I'm away from home for a few days.

I was gifted some nice hefty gray flannel 
that will be perfect for the backs on these two tops.


It shouldn't be long before these 
two twin tops are ready for gifting.

Stay safe and so on!
