Crocheted Bunting Pattern

One Sunday afternoon this Summer I started crocheting these triangles and before I knew it there were enough for a bunting! 

A quick puff of steam from the iron and a bit of tugging made all the points Pretty and Perky.  =)  I was delighted with the results and set about to find the Perfect Place to display my new bunting.

Across the mantel ... no.

Tacked to the bookcase ... no. 

Sewing Room window ... yes!

Here is a close up off the triangle:

And here is the pattern:
