The layout! fun and chunky and the border uses up scraps. But if you want a plain fabric border, or no border you can do that. Whatever suits you. Read on for more and download my layout pattern at the end of my article HIGHLIGHTED IN PINK, so keep reading

These are the sashings for the Country Store fabric, I have a mock up next
The Inner border will be the red plaid. The border will be light dark scrappy.
Now let's take a look at cheeky.. I need your opinion!
This is what I have planned but when I put it up on the design wall...
I found 2 things about it
- I decided to go light/dark/light for the sashing on this one as I liked it better for these fabrics. You decide for your fabrics what works best.
- The roses seem WAY too strong. That is all I can focus on so......
So let's see another option for the squares
I think I like the fabric on the left better.
You have a lot of FQs in the bundle you can pick from. If there is nothing cut out of a FQ you can get all 6 squares from it. So audition for your favorite.
- For this quilt I'm using a rose print for the border, no pieced border.
- The inner border will be the red polka dot

Cheeky Fabrics version:
- Cheeky Fat Quarter Bundle - 28 FQs in this bundle
- 1.5 yds of white with little red dots
- 1 yd red dots that is in the FQ bundle is now sold out. So if you want to do similar to me select another red print or just wait until you make a few blocks and decide.
- 2 yds Roses & dots to use as a full border. The quilt layout will not have a solid border but I will put a solid border on this one as I love this dot and rose print! - pick the shade you love. OR wait and see the border option. This fabric will go quickly
