Oh, yes, I agree with this. It would look so pretty with alternating blocks.

I vote for either the circle, or both - but not just hearts.

You all are terrific when a question is put before you.

That sounds like the perfect solution. I think it will be beautiful when it's finished (Looks beautiful right now). Your DGD is going to love it.

That was the first thought that came to my mind when I saw them but then I thought you could have the hearts facing outward and alternate them with the circles. No matter what you pick. It will be lovely.

If you use multiple hearts there is no reason why they couldn't be turned various directions. For example, you could start in the center and point them to each of the four corners. The quilt would look fine from each direction. I'm not sure that's what I'd do, but it's a possibility. I like both designs and would have trouble choosing.
