Also you can try a basic 9 patch and put it in the top as a bigger 9 patch. I saw a pattern in one of my quilting magazines and it makes an easy Irish chain. You use a 9 patch and another fabric(solid, or toille, something close to the color of the 9 patch one) and do it in a larger 9 patch and it's lovely.
