Ali from Arabesque Scissors and I were chatting recently about all of our beautiful fabric scraps that are too precious to throw away.

Unpacking this fun and vibrant collection from Riley Blake Designs reminded me of lazy, summer picnics. I was especially drawn to the bees and hexies, strawberries and large florals.
