How about a color in the quilt with polka dots.
|
I'd go for a multi print in primary colors. Dots, balloons, circles or some small print. It would make it fun and wouldn't look like you " over-bordered" it to make it bigger. IMHO :-)

This may not be your style, but what about pink and white polka dots? Either pink dots and white background, or white dots on a pink background. I'm assuming the quilt is for a baby girl?
|
The size seems about right for a crib quilt -- not too big to get dragged around or to put the baby on at Nana's house.

What would you recommend?

If you want to add more I would pull a color as best as I could match that you think the new mother would like best.

I agree
