What a cute idea for a kitchen design. My mother-in-law loves apple designs for her kitchen, and I bet this is easy to adapt for that design as well. Have you tried making any other fruits. I love grapes, but I bet that would take a lot of sewing to make a bunch of grapes from a flat piece of fabric.

This would make a really cute gift for mother's day. I love the strawberry aplique big and bright. I bet nobody would forget where the dishcloths are.
