I really, really like the color of the purple, but the design is a different type floral than the others in the quilt, so it doesn't quite fit the same way the large multicolor floral does. However I'm wondering if the large multicolor floral would overpower using it as a wide border. I think that may be why others suggested using one of the greens (or a similar multi-tone green). And I agree that binding with the black would be the perfect finish.
