I have all these lovely hearts for applique. Originally I was going to put them on an 8" block and just string them together. BUT, (there's always a but) I didn't really like that idea. Sooooooo, which do you prefer?

I think I like the same fabric on the same block the best.

I love the first one.

I'm with the others on the first block!

the first one

I like them all the same also. Second choice would be the three on the ten inch block

Thank you. You all have strengthened my thoughts. I really liked the 4 hearts on the 15.5" block. A couple of my friends said to do the small blocks with or without sashing. I prefer the first way too. I just needed some backbone to do it my way! thank you "backbones".

the first one.

I like the first one best.

ditto

The first one.

The first one!!!

#1

Really like the first one.

First one

Number 2....but....have you looked at any of the "Affairs of the Heart" blocks posted on QB at various times?....some great inspiration there, any could be somewhat simplified.

1st. one

I like #2, because I like the scrappy look.

If you took block #1 in shades of green, add a stem it would work as a shamrock for St. Patrick's day.

I like 1 and 2, but I like the second one best, with the different fabrics on a 15.5 block, because it offers more variety. The first one looks like a red shamrock to me, but of course that may be what you are looking for. Whatever you do it can't help but be pretty!

I'm an oddball because I like #2

#1

one then three

Number 3 catches my eye the best.

I agree with everyone else - the first one looks best.

my vote is for #1. lovely

The first one

I love the first design.

I vote for the first one.

I hate being contrary, but I like the second or third or have both on one quilt. The first one shouted out to me "red shamrock"!

Love the first one.

The first one is perfect.

I like the first one-then when you quilt around it maybe use colored thread to compliment-good luck from another April

When you put all same fabrics together, you can be sure you will like it a year or ten from now; but to mix those fabrics up, you need to lay out the entire quilt top, leave it for a week or two, and look at it again, peeking in to see if you still like it; and how others (friends, family) will respond to it. I don't see a color scheme in your mixed-fabric blocks. Is there a color scheme?

I like the clover design with all the same color hearts the best but any of the 3 would be pretty I'm sure.

okay I am probably the odd woman out here .. LOL I like em all !!

For sure the first one.

My vote is for #1. :thumbup: Love, love, love the color! :-)

I had thought about the shamrock thing so I think that I will separate the hearts by a quarter inch so the hearts will stand out. I will post a pic when I get back. DH is waiting to go to Home Depot. He doesn't take me there very often. I spend too much!

I like them all. How about mixing it all up. Do a heart kind of sampler quilt!
