Nice work. I'd be happy too with the results you have shown. Congrats!
I'd be flattered if you wish to make one like it. I'll try to upload the drawing I used to plan it. It uses offset rows and triangles to get the angles right. In fact, I'd never tried corner triangles before and got them all messed up. I had them going from the middle of one side to the middle of the other side of the block - but that's for the UNfinished block. The triangle has to be slightly bigger to account for the seam allowance. I hope I'm expressing that well. In other words, the way I did it first would have been fine if there were no such thing as seam allowances. But due to the seam, the triangle had to be about 1/4 to 3/8 inch larger so the points would meet on the seam allowance. The size is 30 by 42, plus the border.

Looking at the design now, I just realized that I didn't need to have the rows offset. It only shifts which blocks have half square triangles and which ones have corner triangles.
