Lil' Algorithm

I took a table runner pattern and turned it into a baby quilt!
My Quilt Info:
Pattern: Lil' Algorithm from GE Designs
Size: 40" x 51"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton
Thread: Glide--Linen
Pantograph: Chestnut Swirls 1 ⤵️ from Intelligent Quilting
These blocks finish at 2" x 4 1/2"--pretty small! Therefore I quilted it dense, in order to stitch over every piece. "Chestnut Swirls 1" did the job.

This quilt starts with charm squares--32 for the original table runner. I have enough table runners, so I did the math and picked 110 charm squares of pink, mint green, dark green and yellow to make a baby quilt, with white Grunge for the accent.
For backing I used this pink rosebud flannel. ⤵️ It was part of a big bunch of flannel given to me by a quilt friend recently. Flannel makes such nice backings on baby quilts. ๐Ÿ’ Pink binding finishes this quilt. 
This pattern is part of the "Stripology Lil Bundle Club" at GE Designs. Seven of the 12 patterns have been released so far. This is just my second one completed. 

My Quilting Cousin Sue came over and we both started our 'Lil Algorithms together. She has her table runner done, also. Working together is great motivation to start and get the momentum going!

  9. Another great baby quilt. I generally make a quilt smaller than the pattern. Now I need to look over my table runner patterns and see if there is one I could use for a baby quilt!

  19. That looks great, Nancy.
    It looks like a very complicated design, but knowing GE Designs, there will be an easy way to do it!
    Another great way to use up those charm squares,
