I like the 2nd 1 best.

I like the second layout best.

My own personal preference is the second way, with all the hearts going the same direction. Since the hearts are a dark on a light background alternating with a light heart on a dark background that really gives it the interest......and the contrast. Nice quilt!!

I like the first!! I've never been a fan of pieces that all face the same direction ... like Sun Bonet Sue's all facing west, looks too contrived. I think mixing it up adds more interest, and in the case of your hearts ... regardless of which way you look at it, it's right side up.

I personally like the 1st one best.

all the hearts right side up, the other way is distracting in my opinion

I like the 2nd, all in one direction

I like the 1st one. Beautiful quilt blocks.

I totally agree 2nd is best, the other way is to distracting, but it is your quilt.

The second.

I vote for the same direction.

I like the first one, it is the unexpected. I think your eye also sees different things.

i think the first one will lose the hearts design once sewn together, so i vote for the 2d

I like #2.... I like the quilt! I like the colors! and I like the person responsible for it all!

#2 is best. #1 is confusing to the mind :)

I prefer the second.

I prefer the first layout.
The first layout is more graphic and versatile in my opinion and has a more interesting secondary pattern. I think that the second layout emphasizes the heart shape the most; if you want the hearts to be the focus then the second layout may be better.

I vote for the 2nd one also!!

I like the 1st

Beautiful blocks! I like #2:)

I like the 2nd one with all the hearts in the same direction.

I like #2 the best.

Definitely the same direction much sweeter

2nd. version gets my vote. The darks and lights work better in contrast with each other. The 1st one confuses me, a personal point of view of course.

I might try a narrow sashing between blocks with a cornerstone at each intersection with lay out #2.

2nd best like the rest said

The second pattern.

I like them all in one direction best.

Here is another thought, just trying to help. Not sure it would look good or not. You could try to arrange the blocks like this: First row starting at first block, ect heart point down, then 2nd block heart point to the left then 3rd block heart point down then 4th block heart block to left. Then on 2nd row start with heart point to the right, then heart point up, then heart point to right, then point up.
will try to post you a sample picture here. Hope it works.

Now I am not sure that I like that after looking at it. Love your blocks.
Good luck,
Cathy

Hands down, second choice! Cute quilt :)

Like the 2nd one best. Seems to flow better that way.

I like # 2 also.

Second one!!

Beautiful blocks...what if you did N-S-E-W...you know in a 4patch variation with every heart pointing in a different direction.

I like the second one, but could you take a picture with 4 blocks all pointed in the center and see what that looks like.

I like the second one best

Thanks!!!!

number 1 for me. that way which ever way you lay it you see hearts. it is beautiful thx for sharing.
