I think the idea of cutting the strips shorter is great. I've also decided to make a bunch of 2 1/2 " paper pieced hearts to add into this one. I don't know how often to sew them in so that they won't all bunch up, but I'll probably just take a guess as I don't want to do the math!!!
Welcome, I'm pretty new here too. Have you thought about appliqueing the paper pieced hearts on after the strips and rows are sewn together? That way you can place them wherever you want.
