Today we have another great tutorial shared as a part of the Derby Day Fabrics Blog tour. I always love blog tours, it’s so fun to see how different people all use the same line of fabric. Plus it gives you an opportunity to grab some great projects from someone else besides me! ( just in case you’re sick of my thrice weekly “blah blah blah’s” *wink*)

If you’ve been a long time reader then you know that I’ve known Amy from Diary of a Quilter for a long time. We met YEARS ago at a blogger event. There were only 20 of us there and I think it was hard to even find 20 people to attend if you can believe that. My how times have changed!

Amy writes a fantastic blog that is full of quilt tutorials and projects. She manages to blog about quilting all while maintaining a great mix of quilting and  “real life”.

She’s also a Craftsy instructor and her class Pre-Cut Shortcuts talks all about ways to use pre-cut fabrics to simplify and speed up your quilting projects! You can read about her class HERE.

For her project for the blog tour, Amy is showing you how to make a VERY simple rail quilt.  She uses some fun quilting shortcut which saves loads of time, and give the appearance that the quilt took much longer to complete than you think.

I love how she mixed all of the greens, navys, and pinks in the line.   It gives the quilt such a fun, bright and preppy feel.
