Fabric to coordinate w/ dd bedroom quilt (pics)...

I've been a lurker here for a while since I'm new to the quilting world. I'm usually on the decorating board, so this is a cross post. I started a quilt for my dd about 2 years ago, and put it aside when I took a class for Baltimore Album applique. I am totally hooked! So far I have about 18 blocks, working towards 25. Anyhow, I'm redoing my dd's room so I'm going to finish this quilt! I squared it and cut my binding yesterday and hope to finish it this weekend. Here's my problem. I'm horrible with coordinating fabrics (it really stresses me!) and I need help with the fabric for the rest of her room.

After seeing the quilt spread out, she'd like to paint the walls a light minty green (similar to the green in the quilt). I'd also like to make a crown to go over her bed (from an inspiration I saw a few weeks ago, posted below). I've already purchased (on sale) some light pink tone-on-tone fabric for the inside of the crown, but need something for the outside that will coordinate with the quilt. I'd also like to make some curtain panels and a bed skirt. I found a few that I posted below that I've considered. I'm also open to any suggestions. I'm new to making quilts and for me the hardest thing is coordinating fabrics. Thank you for any advice or ideas you have

Here is her room:

Here is a closeup of the quilt's fabric (and the new owner, who's a ham in front of a camera!):

Here's my crown inspiration:

And some fabric's I'm considering:

I think I need a big print, but not sure (see, I'm already stressing!). Any ideas??????
