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!

I had also thought about framing with the squares. I did that recently on another project and like the effect.
Thank you.

I'm anxious to see this one come together .... awesome cuteness abounds!!!
(though I would head towards a quilt, rather than pillows ... I am just not a pillow person!)

Sorry, but they are definitely destined to be in a cushion. I’ve set myself the target of making 10 or so for the local cancer charity I support. They will be sold at their Christmas coffee morning. I really need to get started on these ...
