Iron Quilter 2 -New Challenge

Welcome back, Iron Quilters!

I have gone through the bag of black, white, and gray fabrics. Almost all of it is already cut into squares; I think they're about 3.5". There is enough of the white, black, and red plaid fabric for backing. There are 34 nine-patch blocks already made. Most (about 30) are made with 5 white squares, two darker gray or black squares, and two lighter gray squares, like this:

Basic 9 patch

I've been playing around with EQ7 to see what we could come up with using those 30 blocks, making some similar ones and/or sashing using the squares, and adding a little red to the mix. Because of the colors and patterns, I tried to come up with mostly masculine quilts. We could do any of the following quilts. (Click the quilt picture to see a larger version.)

Shaded Plaid Quilt

Shaded Diamond Quilt

The next 3 quilts use variations of the Disappearing 9 Patch, so we would have to make 9 patches (and use the existing ones), cut them apart and then reposition the pieces.

Alternating Bow Ties

Bow Ties

Spinners

I'm thinking we should probably avoid the Spinners quilt, as it looks too much like swastikas. The first two would be simpler, since we wouldn't have to cut any blocks apart, and would just have to make more 9 patches and put them together with sashing that we make by sewing the squares into rows of white, medium gray, and white. We then cut them in half and put them together with 1.75" red cornerstones. We set them square for the first quilt (Plaid) or on point for the second (Diamonds).

What would you prefer?
