I would say a solid medium yellow, medium pink, or Kona Black for your centers.

You did a wonderful job on that! I go with red.
You don't need sashing unless you really want it. Anything would work for the borders.

I see one piece of red in each, so how about a red middle? By the way, I like your glasses

I think the centers and corner posts should be red, but it must be several different reds. Maybe find a package of fat eighths, or quarters. Then some medium value print you just adore, for the sashings.
