Porting over Maulik's answer to Swift 2.2, you get the following code:

var img: UIImage = UIImage(named: "cabImage")!
var imgSize: CGSize = testLabel.frame.size

UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(imgSize)

img.drawInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, imgSize.width, imgSize.height))
var newImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

testLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor(patternImage: newImage)

Personally tested to be working!
