New Cover for one of my old ladies

I enjoy P&Q, but don't want any quilts, so I'm good at making blocks but never doing anything with them. So when I saw the fabric with the sewing machines on, I decided on making a cover for one of my old Singers as the original box is long gone.

It's also my first real foray into FMQ. It's not perfect but OK.

Here's the cover and the machine it's for

I love your machine cover and machine. I am guilty of not covering my machines after sewing sessions and they do get dusty. I'm off to find some orphan blocks to make a simple cover.
