My amma is an avid reader and loves to read every minute of her spare time. She has lots of other passions like knitting and crocheting but reading is her favorite. I got her a Kindle late last year and started making a case for it. My local quilt store had a 5" charm pack of beautiful batiks. I enjoy those very much and wanted to share them with my mom.
I cut the 5" squares up into little one and a half inch squares and sewed them with one inch wide border of white fabric. I tried not to put same colored fabric pieces next to each other by picking those little squares from a brown paper bag. Inside lining is a cat fabric and I love that fabric too. It is very colorful and I knew my mom will love it. The pattern is mine and I kind of winged it :-). It has been a long time since I quilted and this was a great project to work on.

It is beautiful Heera. So lovingly created for your mum. She is going to love it.
Dear Heera,
Yes, Amma simply loves her kindle. It was so thoughtful of you to gift her such a wonderful thing. Her friends have admired the beautiful cover made by you so lovingly.
We feel blessed and thank God for having a daughter like you.

Lovely lovely cover!!! I love it!!!
I also made a cover for my kindle last november (which was a gift from my daughter Mythili! ). I used a silk vest that I was not wearing any longer to fashion my cover - looks very similar to yours except I also have a pocket on the inside of the cover and instead of a button closure I have ties that were in the back of the vest :)
That's a beautiful kindle cover Heera! I'm sure that your mom was thrilled to get it. Now every time that she reads she's also thinking of you. :-)
It's fabulous! :-)
