Swift version of Daniel T's solution. You still need to set the keyPath value in IB. Of course you could be more careful unwrapping the Optional UIImage.

extension UIView {

            return ""  // Not useful here.
        }
        set {
            self.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: UIImage(named:newValue)!)
        }
    }
}
