If you added a 2" inner border (finished) and then a 5" (finished) outside border your finished quilt would measure 54X62. I would use the four non-alphabet blocks for the corner blocks. That should be large enough for a young child's bed. That would eliminate you having to make blocks to go between the letters. I guess it just depends on how much work you want to put into the quilt. There are also some slightly smaller blocks above and below the alphabet blocks...these would be cute worked into the end of a matching pillowcase.
