I have finished the quilt top for my nephew and is wife, almost.
I am putting hearts in the middle of the lighter blocks. I really do not have enough fabric for hearts in each block. So I decided to just do everyother one. What do you think? I need be I can make enough for all the light blocks. Then just use the backing fabric for my binding. I also thought about starting at the four corners and then work out the every other one. Here are two pics. The first one shows everyother one. The second one starts with the four corners of light blocks and alternate the rows in between.

I like the first picture best

I'm not keen on either layout of hearts, because neither seems consistent. In the top pic, you have 20 hearts. If you start from the top left corner, you can do a whole diagonal row. Then if you alternate diagonal rows, i.e. don't put hearts in the next row of light blocks, but then make another row in the following diagonal row, that will use up exactly 20 hearts!

Beautiful quilt!

How about you find the center of the quilt, then put red hearts in the light blocks and light hearts in the red blocks and make them in a heart shape. In other words, your hearts form a heart. Then it would be balanced.

Very pretty quilt, I'm always inspired by the quilts I see here. What if you just did the outside white blocks and then scattered the remaining 5 hearts throughout the quilt. Or just did the outside.

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.
