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.

nothing better then 9 patches!
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?
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.
