http://www.thequiltercommunity.com/Wc6d5de8f8cac0.htm there are some interesting remarks about red/white quilts
There's nothing like a quilt, to comfort anxious minds. Its threads are soft and molding, as it's crease and folds unwind.
As we await this war at hand, we reach for things to do. Quilting with your needle, may just be the thing to do.
We express our thoughts and prayers, using quilts as best we can. Fundraising efforts of the past are once again at hand.
Blocks of support, with Red Cross Signs, are stitched with "peace" in mind. They come together in a quilt, like none you'll ever find.

From what I've heard and read, some patterns, like Jacob's Ladder and Snail's Trail, were traditionally done in red & white. Others were done in blue & white - I've seen some gorgeous Delft-themed quilts in blue & white. Shamrock quilts are usually green & white. I don't know if this has any particular significance or is symbolic, but I thought it was interesting.
