You might want to add some fabrics that aren't as bright as the ones you have for contrast (not pastels, but something less intense). With all colors the same intensity I fear it will look like just a muddle of colors. (I've made the same mistake with pastels. Each one was beautiful, but when squished all together you couldn't see the block patterns at all. Try a couple of sample blocks to be safe.

If you have any pieces left from each fabric I think a piano key border would be striking against the black sashing. It would bring all your colors together on the border. But, don't know if you have enough fabric for that.
The bottom is just the pattern I decided to use since I could let a layer cake pick the colors. LOL I was going to go with the layer cake used in the pattern but DS said it was too tame! I thought black sashing would pop the colors. I am leaning toward the reddish purple (top row, second from the left) as a border. I am way out of my comfort zone here so all suggestions and opinions are very welcomed!
