If only one the circle but I agree with many others her I would use both.

Both look great but I am partial to the circle as it "goes with" the fabric.

BTW - I love the quilt!!

I think the circle works better with the design in the fabric, and with the quilt pattern, and if it were me, that is what I would use. Having said that, the heart design is so sweet for a grandaughter ! I'm not much help am I ? :)

I vote circle :)

they are both nice, but for a grand daughter, maybe the heart fits best, or you could use both, but I would definately add the heart to it as well.

I love the heart!! I think it gives it a more dainty look.

Both are beautiful, but granddaughter and hearts just seem to go together. :-D

the circle

I like the heart. Fill the quilt with love.

Alternate and use both...its a lovely quilt!

My vote goes to the circle. Love your quilt top. The finished quilt will be gorgeous no matter if you use one or both quilting templates.

I like them both but for some reason I think the circle fits a little better

circle - definately circle

Yep, I would use both. They both have the same flow. Show us when you are done.

Circle for me.

WOW, great suggestions, but i to am partial to hearts, go with hearts.

I'd use both I think.

I like the heart one myself, but either one would be pretty.

I like the circles. It goes with the circles in the black fabric.

The circle gets my vote since it fits better.

I like the circle best. It is a beautiful quilt and your granddaughter will surely love it regardless of how it is quilted. :)

Both are beautiful but I agree about the circle. Those look like the Candlewicking templates I used to use long time ago.

May I ask you a question? I am totally new at quilting... Where do you buy those templates and are they use for quilting with a sewing machine and if it is what kind of foot?? You did a real good job I think I prefer the heart template.. Thanks for any help :-)

wow i like both of them can you use both in the quilt?

you can buy the templates at most anyplace that sells fabric or quilting supplies, there are a lot on the internet you can purchase, yes you have to use FMQ when doing them, so you would need to know how to do FMQ using a darning foot or FMQ foot with the feed dogs dropped, you could also draw your own pattern

Thanks for the help! I will take a look at JoAnn Fabric..Hopefully I will start to do something.. I have so much a hard time to convince myself that I can do it.. I am learning so much here!! I guess it is time now to just do it... :-D

I vote for the circle, would love to see the fnished product, thanks for sharing.

I think I like the circle better. If the size works out, maybe a heart right in the middle?

I vote circle. I find the heart a little busy with all the angles in the piecing. Lovely quilt!

circle

I like the circle also.

You can't go wrong either way! I did hearts for my oldest grandaughters quilt! But they are both beautiful!!

Circle

Ditto.

Since the blocks are on point, the heart would look really, really good.

Circle. I think it fits better and looks better.. But Im just a newbie...

I think I would alternate

Both are lovely; I like the heart just a bit more.

I like the variety of alternating the two patterns.
