I like it with the hearts. Great job and she will love it either way.

Love your quilt. I would leave the hearts out. It sure is a beautiful blue & white classic!

I would go without the hearts you've shown. Both layouts are pretty but I would want to quilt something in those beautiful white spaces!

I like it w\ the hearts... the hearts make it pop

I agree. However, if you do use the hearts keep in mind their placement (how close the same print is next to itself). You wouldn't have to put a heart in every white snowball, you can put some in the blue, on angles, and between white and blue. Play with it, have fun!

I like with the hearts.....maybe keeping it blue you could go with dark blue hearts.

Without the hearts would be my preference. I love what others have said about a motif of some sort in the white spaces. I would use white thread on them and then a blue thread on the other blocks. This is really lovely!!! It's on my bucket list to make a blue and white quilt some day. Yours is so nice!!!!

I'm in the no fabric ♥s camp ... and do detailed ♥ quilting in the white spaces. Blue thread, without a doubt! :)

What a lovely 50th present for your sister!

UUHMM!!! well I like it with the hearts, it's just so much more colorful, the first lay out is good too, but I love hearts, thing is is go with your gut instinct.
