Why not do the hearts in a completely different color/fabric/pattern?

How about a little quirk and place the hearts every which way; over a block ditch, upside down, downsite up, sideways, half a heart one way half the other way, etc, etc; have some fun. I love the way it looks now and just try some other placement of the hearts. Be adventureous.

If you don’t have enough to do every white block, I personally would do them randomly with no pattern. I like that look better, but that’s just me. :)

Try just doing the hearts in the outside border squares. I think that would look great.

I think your DH had the best idea and it looks great with the hearts in every light square. Beautiful quilt.
|
How about random, even if you don't use all the hearts.

Ditto! - Or place just in outer squares...will leave a few hearts left over. Applique them on back of quilt along with label.....just another idea. |
the first one is great. I would use that one.

If you had still enough of the light fabric left I would suggest the following:
In lanes 2 and 3 put light hearts on the dark fabric and dark hearts on the light fabrics. Leave lanes 4 and 5 blank. Repeat the pattern from lanes 2 and 3 in lanes 6 and 7. It's just an alternative. |
