I love purple. My craft room is lavender and I'm going to be making some purple wall hanging quilts for it. I am also typically am not a fan of trip around the world quilts but I really love the colors you chose. Go with the purple!
I looked up "What your favorite color says about you" and this is the purple entry. Describes me about perfectly.
"Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious, witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different. Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may become aloof and sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose Purple, you tend to be unconventional, tolerant and dignified, likely to achieve positions of authority.
