I love them! Is that just the edging? Just one row of hearts? If so keep it, if you were going to continue like that I’d opt for more “tulips” than just hearts. That’s my 2 cents… now to read what everyone else commented; (I didn’t want to read first and be biased!).

The border can be too heavy. I personally prefere more lace in the border too, but that is also a question of personal taste.

I think its just way too heavy for an airy summer wrap. It is quite pretty tho

A heart motif tends to make things more cute than sophisticated…what are you going for?

Perhaps for added effect, you knit a smaller heart in purl stitches inside the lace hearts?

The zigzag is lovely and perhaps a more open border might complement a lacier interior?
