I can do SITD and fairly simple FMQ.
I would stitch in the ditch around the outside of each large ornament, inside the white/light areas of each ornament and then on the outside area of the ornament do a fmq of Christmas ornaments to accent them even more. Use a white or light color thread so as not to take away from any of the piecing you have done.
It's a beautiful wall hanging! Nice job. Looking forward to seeing it when you have it complete.
