I'm about to put the binding on an Irish Chain made from charm squares. Directions call for cutting the remaining charms in half, sewing end to end, and using them as binding. You could use your purple scraps if you have enough. They wouldn't all have to be the same length.

I just finished a small quilt for a newborn, I used a pale to medium coral with a polka dot for binding. I was disappointed how quickly the corners got dirty looking. Wished I had gone with a darker color.
