I would audition the aqua and that goldy-orange color on the far right. The aqua because it is common to most of your pieces, and the orange because it complements the blues and purples. Can't wait to see what it looks like.

OK, this might not win me any prizes, but what about doing a color wash? Arrange your plaids so that they range from darkest to lightest across the top diagonally. Then for the sashing, do it the opposite so that the light plaids have dark sashing and the dark plaids have light sashing. Does that make sense?
