I have been thinking about what I want to do with my swap blocks. I think I will make them into a quilt for a friend. He will be moving far away, so as a sending off gift, I think I will make a quilt. I have been looking at lots of images for some inspiration and I have seen some really nice quilts using 9-patches. I really like this one:

Unfortunately, I didn't swap enough blocks to make this one. I could make it smaller I suppose. Something to consider.
I also liked this hourglass/9-patch combination:

What I think I will settle on is this one:

The construction is very simple and the overall look is very nice. I think I even have enough 9 patches to pull it off.
