How about the turquoise? The navy and reds are too much a part of the design to use them, IMO.

I may be late to the party - I hope not - one of the center blocks is set wrong. It is a nine patch on the right top in the last picture posted with the borders. The blue diagonal is running opposite the other 3 blocks. Unless it is a design decision.

I think it would look good if you mimicked the green stripe, then the yellow stripe with red diamonds and then green stripe again. You could bind it with the red to complete the mimicking. It great so far.
