Once you add sashing...the placement won't matter that much...I'd place the sashing fabric on the design wall..then place the sashing fabric, leaving what will be the finished width of the sashing showing between...that way you can get a better idea of what the assembled quilt will look like.

Your block all look nice but I think what might be throwing you off is the heart block that is appliqued. When I covered that one the quilt looked great - try it. Maybe make one more pieced block if you have enough fabric .Once you get the shashing on I think you will be happier.

Looking Wrong?
Beautiful blocks! I like heart in middle ..............But that said.................little trick I learned. Take digital picture of each setting you come up with. Let them set for a day or so then look at each setting you have come up with....Usually one will stand out as the "right one"
Good Luck all look great let us know when you get it done and send Pic

I love your blocks. I agree that the bottom 3 blocks could use some tweaking. The left and right ones need the third colour, as all the other blocks have 3 colours. The center block needs more "white" space. Those are minor things so if she loves them, just work with them. She's the one who has to like it.

I really like your suggestion of making three more hearts and put one in each corner. That would make a gorgeous quilt!!!
Yes, leave the hearts and other 2 i mentioned just move them around to break up the points. Im thinking the heart needs to go in the middle b/c its the only one with soft corners, all the others have points. Or, make three more heart blocks and put each one in the 4 corners.
