Meet in the Middle is a Flimsy

My SIL in Guatemala is getting married.  She is a craftsy kind of person and has made a quilt herself.  She has seen me make many many quilts.  I knew she would appreciate a quilt, but I didn't want to chose a pattern or color on my own.  So I asked her to choose 3-5 quilts that she liked and give me a basic color or colors to work with.  I directed her to Quiltville and Jo's Country Junction as starting points since I have made many quilts from their patterns.

In less than a week she had chosen 2 designs and the color blue - all shades of blue.  So of her two choices  I picked Meet in the Middle from Jo's Country Junction and started cutting into all my blues.  Since she doesn't know which one I picked it will still be a surprise.

I made a few adaptations to the pattern to end up with a full size quilt.  I made 42 strips instead of the 32 in the pattern and my white stripes were longer.  So mine will be longer and wider.  This was a super easy pattern to adjust for size.

This was a relatively quick quilt to put together.  The hardest part was the randomizing of the blues.  I used a variety of white on whites and I just didn't worry about where they landed.  There are a few that ended up side by side and one that ended up 3 in a row, but I think it just adds to the charm.

Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts and Confessions of a Fabric Addict to show off finishes.
