LOVE the quilt, and I agree with this idea:

The circles and square are still the focal points, but it gives interest to the solid background.

I love the layout and fabrics you chose, it's simply adorable.
Thougts for the quilting... I would quilt it a mediium density (a happy medium between soft and durable), I would then search high and low for a gray/pink/white varigated thread and minky backing, then quilt it in an all-over design with large concentric rectangles and cirlcles overlapping each other. If I couldn't find the varigated thread, I would consider using solid threads of all three colors.
Please do share with us what you end up doing.

I read the pink and zebra before I acutally saw the quilt and was excited. Seeing the quilt cofirms my excitment! What a happy and cute quilt. If I were going to quilt this cutie, I would do circles in circles in circles all over in a random pattern, even inter- crossing some of them so they look like bubbles.
Love what you have done.
peace
