Without the hearts is nicer I think. Or try blue hearts maybe.

I love it with the hearts. It adds color. I find just the blue and white to plain and boring. Just my opinion. I know most like it without the hearts.

Without the hearts or with blue hearts. It is a beautiful quilt. With the colors of the hearts, the eye goes straight to the hearts, but if you had blue hearts I think you would see the hearts without them jumping out at you. Whatever you decide to do, it will be a lovely, lovely quilt.

It would be great if the hearts were also cut from the blue fabrics.

I tend to like without the hearts for you sister. The white part would be a great place to do some fancy quilting and maybe include a heart in the quilting! It is a very pretty quilt...wish I was your sister!

These motifs are beautiful in this site. Those feathered heart motifs would be great in the white snowball blocks!

That was plan B, if I don't use the hearts then I'll try a special motif in the white space. Though then the decision is white thread or blue?

I think feathered hearts with blue thread would look nice. Although sometimes less is more and maybe go with white thread! I know I am no help, but I like your quilt! :-D
