I tracked the picture to this blog, the author says it's a reproduction of a quilt seen in the Red & White exhibit, but there is no name given.

This quilt would be easy to do. I would take 2.5" strips, put it in the center of a block, then sew the opposite color on each side as corners, trim to size. Like a string-pieced block, but with only one diagonal string. You can see it illustrated here: https://www.quilterscache.com/S/StripedSquareBlock.html
Make it the same way, only instead of using strips in the corners, just use one fabric.

Here's a link to the same basic block. Just leave the sides plain.
Signature Block (quilterscache.com)
One difference, the strip in your pic is narrower than in this pattern. But this at least gives you the idea.
It'd be easier to do it as blocks, with the strip on each, than to do as QSTs with sashing strips, as Tartan has suggested. IMHO. Then just do your layout to get the pattern.
A very effective and pleasing quilt. The simplicity of it, speaks volumes.

It's a block that Eleanor Burns did years ago I made the quilt but cannot think of the name, however if you check her You Tube channel you will see it. I want to say it's called Summer Porch but can't be sure, sorry.

I did a Summer Porch quilt. The strips in the middle are smaller.
