And since you've got plenty of fabric, you can make all three layers of your quilt the same fabric. Every few weeks add more squares to keep the quilt even.

At the start, if you do this, you are going to have to give up any idea of coordinating your colors.

This is assuming your DD and GD live fairly close to you, so you can all enjoy the quilt.. At 13 months (56 weeks) you'd have a quilt about the right size for little sis to use for several years.

One more thing----------what size of squares??????? I'd say to finish out at 8" . At 13 months you'd have a quilt 56" by 64" about perfect for a young girl.
Very clever idea. You could grow the quilt outward from the center square which would be the first picture.
