Finished baby quilt for Victoria Grace

The baby quilt was finished just in time for this morning's gifting.  I was on information desk duty at Church, so I got to give it to Cheryl.  This will be her first grandbaby, and it's a girl, to be named "Victoria Grace".   I've already 'heard' someone in the family referring to the baby as 'Tori', and I just love that name !
 Anyway, the quilt finished up around 40 inches square.  These triangles were in one of the boxes of scraps that Jodie Ann sent me this Winter to keep my mind distracted from hubby's illness.  She's an angel of a friend.  And the purple fabric on the back was from a big 2 yard piece that was in another box from her.
The white background fabric is from Connecting Threads.  I used the Pellon 80/20 cotton/poly batting that I bought on a 30 yard roll from Walmart.

My backs are all starting to look the same as I piece stripes down the center to make fabric wide enough.  Still, I prefer that look to just using one fabric.
