I like to make D9P with I Spy child-fabric squares on the four outer corners. It makes an interesting quilt that most children would enjoy for many years.
My great-grandmother made a simple 9 patch quilt for me using the fabrics scraps my mother sent her after sewing the family's clothing. I have it still and fondly remember her and the clothes us kids wore. My mother told me after my great-grandmother died that she hated that quilt and was glad to give it to me. I guess I was lucky that she hadn't given it to the dogs for their bedding!
