Red & Green But Not Christmas

Red and green go nicely together, and many vintage quilts are that color combination.  So I wanted to make something in those colors but NOT Christmas. Plus, the stripes fascinated me when I first saw them.
I chose the good-old 9-patch; an easy, versatile quilt block, in many different patterns of red and green, set square in a square in those great stripes, then offset by half a block in each column.  Another delight was the border stripe, I love buying interesting stripes for borders!
