Raspberry and Lime...requirments list for E CLASS

E class.
This is the quilt for the e class. There is an optional border which I will include a separate requirements list for....as you can see its not done on the sample yet  :) This is just to give you an idea so you can start collecting your fabrics whether its a scrap quilt you want to do or maybe you fancy a trip to your local quilt shop......
The hearts are appliqued on, so if you want to change to a different applique shape then that is no problem.

EVERYONE NEEDS 1/2 YARD OF FUSIBLE WEBBING OR A GLUE PEN.

Requirement list for shiny new fabrics: size approx without border 64x64 inches

-8 fat quarters} 6 medium/dark and 2 light fabrics
