My grandma and mother would quilt around each piece a ¼" from the seam line. You could also do an X in each square or get a template and quilt a fan or other design. The fun of it is all the options. Be sure to let us know what you choose.

I've seen one quilted with basically a backwards "L" in each of the blocks in the 9-patch (looks a little like a lightening bolt). I've got one 9 patch ready to quilt, and that's how I think I'm going to do it.
