I would look at what she is doing with the room and make what you want. I had a baby shower with my first baby and got about 20 blankets. 10 were home made knitted ones. I have used every single one of the non-knitted ones in the middle of the night accidents. I wouldn't use the knitted blankets at night because they were too nice. I used them during the day because they were so pretty and let me tell you. I had two loads of laundry to do with my daughters cloths. One of cloths and one of blankets. I probably could have used more blankets because of spiting up and wetting out. She will come to appreciate the blanket that you make for her. My Daughter still has to sleep with her hand made quilt blankie every night. I have made one just like it for my son. very simple design. her was purple triangles and my sons was blue squares. She will be grateful for it when the baby is older. Just you wait and see. and enjoy the baby.
