I would use the dark blue or plum color ( the darkest one on the quilt) . I think that would be spectactular.

I would use the dark color or for something different, use pieces of each color, that wouldn't take away from the quilt its self.

I would use the darkest color as bindings seem to get dirty over time, plus the dark color will frame your pretty quilt.

I agree the dark purple would look nice

The darker color used in the quilt. Eddie is right. The edge gets the most wear and tear. Dark colors fare much better. It also frames the quilt.
