I'd like to add almost a foot all around but wonder if that's too much. more stripes would be awful. Suggestions?

I dunno--I think you could have more stripes or strips around the perimeter--maybe a 2"-inch gold (matching the sunflowers, a 3-inch rose (matching lower right flowers), and a 4-inch blue floral or the dark blue per the suggestions of others....not quite the 12 inches you want, but close. It IS a beautiful quilt.
