Need Help Figuring Out How To Do This Gingham'ish Pattern

HELP! A customer would like me to try to come up with a way to include this pattern on a cake. It's going to be a topsy-turvy with a big bow on top, but they want the bow solid pink. They suggested this pattern on the bottom and dots on top.
How can I do this? I need suggestions, tips, other ideas (?)
TIA!!
I would say just lay them directly on the cake. Cut all your strips with the different colors and start laying them. It may be easier then you think. Good luck, I bet it will be cute. Maybe someone else has done something like this and can help. Love those colors.
I would paint it on. I would would first paint the pink since that looks like the most prominent color and once that Has dried I would go back and paint the other colors. Paint right over top of the pink where the lines intersect. (Hope that makes sense!)
yeah, painting would get the right look better than you would get with fondant strips. I did one with fondant strips, its in my photos. Its the red white and black topsy-turvy....Can't wait to see it!! Make sure you post it and let me know when you get done!!! Its going to be awesome!! 
I'm jealous of your cake order!! LOL
I would say the EASIEST way would be to get an edible image or two made of it and apply them to the sides.

Geeez... I guess I'm relieved because doing a plaid design on a slanted cake (topsy turvy) would be tricky, but she's changed her mind 
.
She was concerned as to how the painted plaid on the bottom tier would look against the 2D polka dots on the top tier, so I sent her some photos to let her decide which she liked best. I fell in love with the floral design on jaklotz' cake, so I asked if she'd rather have that than dots.
Well, I included SugarCreation's cake with "baby" imprinted on the polka dots, and she fell in love with the bows on the stripes!
So I have ended up having to copy SugarCreation's idea rather than doing my own design. I do love SugarCreation's cake, don't get me wrong, I was just hoping to have another original cake in my credentials, lol. Well, at least I get to put a big bow on top instead of the shoes, bear and rattle

I thought I originally saw her cakes here, but now I'm not sure. She inspires a lot of copy-cat cakes, though!
