You were thinking, "it's going to look so beautiful!" not how much work it would be.

You did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

I might make some small felt ornaments for it.

I am filled with admiration! I flat-out do not do well with triangles. They always turn out too small and all wonky. I have read and re-read every suggestion I could find on how to make good triangles but to no avail.
But this isn't about me, it's about how beautiful your wallhanging is and how very impressed I am! Great, great job!

If you have trouble with half-square triagle meeting at the diangonal points, plan to cut the fabric you start with a quarter or half inch over-size, then trim them down to size with a template ruler that has a 45-degree quide on it. This helps because it's usually the tips at the begining and end of the seem that get wonky.
