Was going to suggest the same thing.

I agree there is no such thing as too much purple.

Had to look this pattern up yep I agree it would be a great pattern for this purple-delicious fabric!

I'd go with a border in while, and then a thin strip of black. It is to "inky", but black and while will fix it!

I love purple-I would go with black around each square and maybe a boarder of the aqua around each black boarder- Black would be 2" and the aqua 1.5" this just a suggestion-do what ever you feel like doing-it will look great.

I agree I think I would add a third colour. It wouldn't make it so purplely.

Love the colors! Maybe add a bit of white, and some pink-?

I like the second square. It is less 'planned' looking without a flower close to center. In fact, I would cut them all just a tad different, with maybe just one with a center flower but not placing that square in the center of the quilt, either. Never too much purple.

While purple is not my favorite color - I really like these together.....If it is at all possible, I would introduce some of the teal color (maybe a mode marble?) and some of the bright pink...........I like the last pic you posted best for the fussy cut..... Keep pics coming to show your progress......I think this is going to be beautiful!!
