I like the one without the hearts. It's beautiful and I'm sure your sister will love it :thumbup:
BTW: I keep meaning to ask you about the quilt in your avatar. It is stunning! If you don't mind sharing is there a name to the pattern that you used?

The only thing that bothers me about the hearts are the colors.I think the dark fabric in your blocks would be nice and call me crazy what about white hearts? anything to brake up the big white space.
I am not a good enough quilter so I am intimidated to fill a big space with color contrasting thread.

Option 1, without the hearts. Use Rose L.s suggestion to put feathered hearts stitched in white in the snowballs. For the quilting on the rest of it, I would use blue thread. (The color that is sold for repairing denim pants; it's neither light nor dark and I think would blend with both shades of the blue). Beautiful quilt, and I am sure we are all demanding pictures of it when it is finished. (Lucky Sister!)

I think a pale blue thread would look good.
That was plan B, if I don't use the hearts then I'll try a special motif in the white space. Though then the decision is white thread or blue?
