Thank you, everyone!
My brother finds out if he will get this new job on Sunday, so I'm hoping she'll finally have a real bed to put it on!
I finished it at 2 am last night (I work a rotating shift, quilting really helps me stay awake on the night shifts). Had time to toss it in the washer and dryer before getting off work. It came out so soft with lovely crinkles (I LOVE the crinkly look, makes a quilt look more snugglable).
Sorry for the poor photos, but I wanted to get it to her first thing this morning since I'm leaving town for a few days (and hopefully, for them, they will be in the process of moving before I get back).
My SIL woke her up long enough to get it from me, and she really liked it (very sleepily, lol). She made the comment that it was "really big, I might have to save it for when I'm bigger!" but her mom and I both told her she could use it now. She carried it back up the stairs to go back to sleep. I'm hoping she eventually wears it to nothing.

I used my background fabric from the front, pieced with a coordinating, spotted fabric for the back. The binding has those two fabrics alternating.
