Playing With Hearts

The black pinwheels in this quilt have small colorful hearts scattered throughout the black fabric. I thought it might be fun to sprinkle hearts in areas of the border using different color threads area by area. It is amazing how bold a 40 wt thread looks on black while the same thread can look very thin/hardly noticeable on the black and white small scale print used in the inner border area by the quilt top maker.
Now to move about the outer border and vary thread colors for this same stacked heart fill pattern.
