I can’t believe it’s already time for the Derby Day Fabrics blog tour! I swear in my head, it’s still November, not March. My perception of time seems to worsen the older I get; I’m sure it won’t be long before I think it’s Christmas in July!

Each week for 4 weeks, someone will share with you a project or tutorial using Derby Day fabrics; I’m so excited to have Heidi on tour this time around. For those who don’t know her, she runs a blog called Fabric Mutt and has designed fabric for Riley Blake.

This Alice bag that I created last summer uses here ADorABLE line called Five and Dime! You can still find it in stores.

For her project, Heidi created this Dresden Block Pillow. I swear it has 2 of my favorite things all in one, and I’m in love! I can never get enough Dresden blocks and always want to make everything with gingham!
