I'd say go for it. No hand quilting was or ever will be perfect and that is part of the charm. I'd use the purple thread I think it will look great. I'm an old hand quilter too!

I have an embroidery machine, I have used white blocks
on top and bottom. The embroidery thread is the same
color in the bobbin as on the top. I used the same color
of material on side and bottom sashings and borders. This makes a nice reversible quilt.

Here is some of my quilting. This is the top of the quilt. I love it to show. It's not perfect, but I love that it's not. :)

I was told I shouldn't use colored thread, that I would not like it. However, being the stubborn person that I am, I used it -- pink thread on pink and white squares. I loved the way it looked and others told me they liked it. I also used black thread on an Amish quilt and loved that, too. I'd say it's your choice. You could always try a sample block and see what you think.
