    I agree with using an odd number of hearts inside, positioned on the left swoop, and maybe use one resting in the center crevice outside on top - that would be odd, too, as it is '1' outside the outline.

    I love the heart yo yos.

    This is what I have settled on. Not perfect but it does hide the narrow side a bit. I might add some embroidered ribbon or tendrils later.[ATTACH=CONFIG]550263[/ATTACH]

    I really do like your final arrangement. The "rule" of using odd numbers works so well in almost all circumstances -- particularly well here.

    Unless there is a specific reason for placing them elsewhere, I always try to use an accent on the left side of a project. When we read in English, we always start at the left and go toward the right. Think about all the great masters of painting, etc. There is almost always an emphasis on the left side.

    Your finished heart has a definite charm to it.

    I would move them to the left side and group them closer. Love your heart shaped buttons!

    Edited to add: Yes! Love this arrangement. Didn't see this post before I posted.

    Like your hearts - are you doing a quilt or wall hanging with them?

    A beautiful block with embellishments that are fitting.

    I think on the left would be better! The narrow strip wouldn't show!

    How about adding more colored hearts and some leaves - like a grapevine wreath with a cluster of flowers

    I like them grouped together and in a bunch, not separated.
