For the pink heart, I used a back stitch and didn't bother hiding the stitches on the back. You could do this and make sure to only stitch onto the top of the block and not go all the way through.
For the turquoise heart, I used slip stitches and made sure to only stitch to the top of the base granny in order to not see the stitches on the other side. The finished block size should be around 8 inches.
