ube-so glad you found this thread. I was going to seek you out soon to see what you thought so thank you. I ended up with such a large collection of purple batiks that I found a second quilt that will work nicely as well so it will be twice as exciting.
I have to purchase most of my fabric online because of local selection (they only had 3 purple batiks that would even fit into my color range) and it is hard to truly see the accurate color online and that is why I ended up with so many of 2 different purple colors. I don't have as many darks as I would like and the darks from the violet-plum collection are quite a bit darker but I think it will work out. I'll make a few to start, mixing the various collections, and put them on my design wall to see how they look. I've probably got about a week or 10 days to finish the current quilt I'm working on and then I can get started.
