Default Nurse Bonnie - Sneak peek - Quilt for Quilters- feedback needed!

Nurse Bonnie likes surprised so I don't want her to see it but... I'd like to have some feedback.
I am designing her quilt using part of a quilt on a tutorial from Missouri Star Co, It is a 4- 4 patch block with an X block around. The idea is to add boarders and add either applique flowers on the boarder or a row of applique blocks around the center.
So far I only have 2 blocks done with the fabrics I will use. Background is white and the quilt is in lilacs as it is a color my partner likes.

See the picture and let me know what do you think. Is it boring due to the lack of other colors? If I wanted to add some color to it, I thought on the applique. What color do you think it will be nice? And, Is it ok if the center is only lilac and white and the boarders have the added color?

The center will be alternate 4-4 patches and X blocks, 3 per row, 3 columns.

thanks for your feedback!
