Hmmm....now your in a tough position. I see what you are saying...I like both..but I think the one with less hearts is a little calmer. But..saying that, I'm not at all sure I would attempt to remove the ones you've already put on unless you are prepared to have to replace the entire group of squares if it doesn't look nice, is torn or something. I think on this one I'd leave them. You know how fabric looks when you take something off..most times..not pretty enough to leave.
