Valentine's Quilt, with block tutorial

Heart block is a modified 4 patch.
For each block cut:
1 white 3.5" square
1 red 3.5" square
2 white 1.5" x 3.5" rectangles
2 red 2.5" x 3.5" rectables

Assemble as shown below.


Finished block is 6.5" square


Completed 49" x 62" Valentine's quilt top.
Blocks are set on point with 3.5" sashing.
The border is scrappy piano key style.


Now to quilt it. 
I'm planning to FMQ feathers in the white border,
not sure about the other areas.
Any ideas?

This is just beautiful, Carolyn! I'm not sure how I'd quilt it - it seems I need to pet a quilt a bit to figure out how to quilt it.

Whoop whoop!!
