When we finish our quilts, many do not like to hand sew the bindings. Alex has mentioned that she does not enjoy finishing bindings. I have been using this method for several years and always find that the flange adds something special.

Alex please Please talk about size of 1/2 square triangles on the edge and please demo how to cut 8 at one time! What size would that square need to be ? I know 10 inches will work but I think too big, too much waste

This has been answered several times. Look at these posts:

149155
149156
149172
149188

And if all else fails, do what Alex does—draw a 6” square on paper, add the triangle you want to it, then draw the 1/4” seam allowance lines around that triangle. Use a ruler to measure the triangle. Be sure you know if you are cutting a HST or a QST

DJane, Your quilt is beautiful. To grow your quilt you might look for ideas from Medallion quilt patterns. A starter idea is one from EQ8. If your center star was the center block, then purple
dot fabric, then block border around center square, then you can keep building borders either pieced or just Kaffe fabrics to make it bigger. This other screenshot I saw on line
I think if you put another dot border outside your Kaffe blocks, then added sawtooth stars in a double row with the plain block fabric being Kaffe, that would look really good to and finish with another dot border. Just some ideas to get your creative juices flowing. HelenW

Sewskeel, I love the color wash effect you have going on your quilt. It looks great as is, but if you want to audition a couple possibilities, I would
put lighter pink in the bottom block outside triangles instead of the orange. The orange looks good, but the shape of the light pink blocks would form
a triangle corner of light pink blocks which looks more pleasing to my eye. Also the top right corner blocks just looks a little too dark overall. Dark corners
on a dark block. A little out of sync with the rest of the quilt. I would keep the blue wash colors going to the corner block. Looks beautiful. You did great!

I finished my It's a Mystery to Me Kaffe quilt, but since it was a mystery to me also, I titled it "A Mystery to Me Squared". Since I am already a perfectionist at heart, my challenge was to make the blocks wonky, a la Jan Mullens or Mary Lou Weidman. The backgrounds are all white with black polka dots and the slices through the Kaffe Brassica are all black/white stripes......

I love your polka dots and stripes. Wonderful quilt!
