I love your baby quilt! sew darling. I'm not much help in the quilting question. Maybe echo the hearts and even hearts in the bar section. I'm thinking different size hearts. Whatever you do it will be perfect♥

I would echo the hearts, and do feathers in the strips and borders.

This is a beautiful quilt, one that will be adored!

SID down the long panels. Echo the applique hearts inside and out. SID below the first bar. Skip 2 and SID again. This will create a box you can stitch a heart in. It will make the heart quilting offset from each other.
