ccbear, it's the 9 Patch and Stripe pattern out of Eleanor Burns' Still Stripping After 25 Years book. To get the quilt design, I mixed positive and negative patches in the same quilt - by following the directions she gives, you actually cut and sew 2 quilts at the same time which I thought was awesome. I just mixed the blocks.

DH woke up this morning, looked at the design wall and commented again how much he likes this one - I don't think he'll let it go :-) I bought a green blender fabric for the borders and backing yesterday - the dark buttons fabric is listed as navy, but comes off as black so I couldn't find a blue that worked.
