From what I've read on other reviews, you should probably wait at least 24 hours after your last dose of Morphine before having Suboxone. Others suggest waiting until you're well in to withdrawal, especially with Morphine. But I imagine these estimated waiting times are going to be largely dependent on several individual factors that also come into play. Everyone has different tolerance levels and different body chemistry that effects metabolism and excretion rates.
However, in my personal opinion, 31+ hours sounds like a sufficient length of time, in accordance to Morphine's short half-life of 1.5 - 7 hours. You may even want to double check with your doctor first though, just to be on the safe side.
I hope this info helps!
