Design Wall Monday

It is still Sunday to me, as I've not yet gone to bed, but it is also 12:08 am.  So I figured I'm OK to post for "Design Wall Monday".  Judy at Patchwork Times hasn't put up her post so I'm not linked yet - I need to remember to do that on Monday.

Here is the part of my design wall that is "new".  Thirty 9-patch blocks made for swapping on our "30's Fabric Quilting" yahoo group.  Half are "X" blocks and half are "O" blocks, which when fit together make a checkerboard top.  I'm hoping by the time I receive blocks back I've figured out a different setting for the blocks - I'd like something a bit more unusual.  So far I've not been able to think of anything.

  1. Sometimes simple is best. This is looking pretty good as it is. Love those 30's fabrics and not a better block to use them in than a 9-patch. What size are the blocks?

  2. I'd never heard of nine-patches being referred to as X and O. Very good description! And now I know how to make a checkerboard quilt! I'm looking forward to what you do when you get your swaps.
