Default Scottie Dog Squares

I have 18 of these 5 inch squares and want to use them in a cushion or cushions.
The only idea I can come up with is to alternate the squares with a plain red or tartan squares.

Can anyone come up with a more interesting idea?

Adorable! I think some black and white gingham, and polka dots would look adorable, especially in some stars with the fabric you have as the center of each, can’t wait to see what you make.

I hadn’t thought of trying to match the black and white fabrics - thank you for that!

how about some bow-tie blocks in between. the doggies usually wear bow-ties, so it would fit.

great fabric. how about alternating with black and white plain blocks so they do not take away from the cuteness of your posted fabric

I like your suggestion - it would be quick and easy to do too!

Thank you.

Thank you.
Some other fairly simple possibilities, yet can give quite an impact ...
* hourglass blocks can create some nice interest, yet keep the focus on your printed fabric, giving a SIAS effect, but with a lot less work.

* frame each with one fabric (perhaps a 1" finished) and then join together. Could use an assortment of fabrics/colours, but my first thoughts would be an assortment of black prints, to keep with the theme of the Scotties colourings, and let the red come alive!
