Love it! Did you try a random color pattern just to see what it looks like, just curious!

I'm not sure I'm going to sash it, I'm thinking of just joining the squares. I like your idea for the inner & outer borders, but I can't do chickens ... that's an old joke between my DD & me ... she'd probably have a cow! LOL. I'm going to start searching for an outer border & a backing. I might join 5" strips of all the other colors for the outer border & use the reds as the inner. :-)

No, I planned it out carefully on a chart before I started. There were sew many fabrics in sew many colors that I was afraid I'd get lost if it wasn't planned. :-)
