Thanks for the input...I think I'll try "building" a row horizontally to see how I like that before I take apart the longer vertical FG block that I've made. Since the FG are in 1" vertical increments, it will be easy to match them to the exact block size.
Thanks for all the other tips. I plan to rethink the layout (direction) of all the heart blocks and may alternate 1 right side up and the next upside down...the quilt wear issue is a good thought.
I appreciate the PP tips too. It seems that the rest of my family doesn't appreciate my new words :roll: ...but they sure seem to help in certain situations :oops:
