For the red stripes, line the strawberries up in a double line, at the top of the platter, skip an equal amount of space and place another double line of strawberries. Skip another equal amount of space and at the very bottom of the platter place one final line of strawberries.

Be sure to keep your lines straight and be sure to line up the starting points of the first two double strawberry lines so the blueberry portion is even.

Slice your cheese blocks into about ¼-inch slices. Line two cheese slices up side by side in the two open lines. Add another stack on top of each cheese line.
