And the KitchenAid cover is complete:
Slightly naughty story of these fabrics:
For the quilt guild Kris Kringle we had to provide 2 FQs of a current range of fabric. I bought half-metre cuts of these two fabrics, (which are from a new release by Nutex called "Leafy Meadow") keeping half of each piece for myself. Some time on the day of the Christmas dinner I realised they would be perfect for this project I wanted to make for a friend's birthday. But now I didn't have enough. What to do? When it was my turn to choose a gift my parcel was still available. Was it wrong that I grabbed it? Is that against the spirit of KK? I don't know! I do know that I was very happy with my KK gift, and that the same can't be said for everyone on my table.
Forgot to add: I got the idea and the basic instructions from here: Heart of Mary - How to make a KitchenAid cover

What a confession. This goes against all the KK rules where you are supposed to risk all in the vain hope that someone brought something nice.
The cover looks really good, stylish for a very stylish appliance. As it is a gift your KK bad behaviour is perfectly forgivable.

Good on you Vireya and it’s not the first time someone has selected their own. Love the cover and the fabric is beautiful and modern.
A fabulous job of the kitchen aid cover..
Good on you for picking your own gift as it's lovely fabric for the cover.
Hahaha--why not? The cover came out really well...

Very nice! I like how it turned out. I think it is fine to choose your own gift. Personally, I don't like participating in gift exchanges.
