This would be my choice, too. I am making a quilt right now of quite dark purple tone on tone with paisley. I am adding a little lighter purple and an ocean green. The green looks great with the purple. It's not really a green green. It looks more like a green-grey tone on tone. I haven't even figured out what I'm going to do with this quilt, but I have the medallion center finished and don't know where to go from there. I'll have to sleep on it a few more nights and maybe I'll get some inspiration.

Love the designs and shades of all there, you can't go wrong with what ever you do. I do think the grey or the dark purple would add on but mainly I would love to see it completely finished, Please.

Oh, my goodness you made this hard!
I decided on a simple pattern that I could utilize my fat quarters. I would have bought 1/2 yards if I had thought more carefully, but this pattern does pretty good.

I will be using the darkest purple some of you recommended for the rails and the binding.
That is unless I change my mind and go with the triangles. If I do the triangles, I will still use the dark purple for the background.

I love your fabrics. I think I might try a soft cream instead of white or black. Love the triangle quilt but I think a black would not make your fabrics pop but give it a dark side. A cream or very pale gray would give a nice pop to your beautiful fabrics. Love to see the finished quilt.
