My DH said to make the hearts smaller and put one in each light block. So I used up some of the left over fabric that I was thinking about using for the binding and made the little hearts. My backing is a different color and print of fabric, so I guess I will use the backing fabric for the binding as well.
Anyway here is the finished quilt top minus the stitching around the hearts. Now it is full and balanced. Oh and yes I will be using one the hearts on the label
It will be awhile but I will post again when it is completed.
Thanks again for your help.
