So today I was off in a whole different direction—curvy, swirly. I think this is much better for my uses.
added note: Omigosh. I just noticed that there is a face in there. A lion, maybe? Do you see it? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Off in a whole different direction
Yes, everything you said about that heart yesterday was right—too spiky, too fussy, too much reminiscent of hot air balloons, though I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it. Really, nothing to be done for it. No, Jeri, no amount of stitching will save it.

Could it be any more different?! What would you call this? My idea was a little bit traditional Valentine, a little bit Victoriana, but not. This will be part of a much larger piece and will be about making Valentines. Does this give you more of a cut paper, homemade Valentine vibe?

Definitely one of the large cats, personally I think it is quite unique.
I think a face is less visible in this heart than the first one, which had a downturned mouth. But once you pointed it out, I could make it out.
I am not seeing the face that much.
Yep, BIG cat. Maybe "stylized Victorian". And I think you cut into the fabric we both bought in Carlton? I still have mine and refuse to cut it, or part with it. Not sure why.
Love this one! Of course, I would since I live in a city named Loveland. Yes, I really do.
Yes, yes, yes...I like this one the best. I really don't see the face.
Definitely a face, but a much nicer, friendlier one than the one I saw in your original design. That one looked really mean.
Here I am again asking about your five stack tub system in the studio. I looked for them online at IKEA (from an earlier post) and can only find them as a three stack. Were you able to purchase them as a five stack or did you do something to make them a bit higher.
I live in Montana, with no IKEA stores nearby and love how you have managed your storage.

I can make out a face, but I don't think it is that visible unless you mention it. This has more flame and passion.
Great recovery! If at first you don't succeed...
Love it!

Truth be told I like both hearts. They each have a little something to add to a quilt. The first heart looks like a hot air balloon and the second does look like a lion face to me.

I'm another one who doesn't see the lion, or face of any kind. I'm surprised you think this Victorian in flavor. I immediately thought - Late 1960's, early 70's and Ginny Beyer. Must be the patterning you chose. I like it better than the first, which was very stiff, but it doesn't evoke cut paper valentine to me.
