Combining two of my favorite things African violets and Quilting

One of my favorite things to do is follow blogs about quilting.  Last week someone (sorry I can’t remember which blog) posted a picture of their african violet on top of a quilt.  That got me thinking about the window in my bathroom that has the perfect lighting for my african violets.


So I decided to use the color of the african violets to make a window sill runner to go under the pots and brighten the ledge a bit.  I decided to make easy little nine patches, and I always love blocks turned on point so why not.  Well it ended up taking quite a bit of time to draft it all and get it put together, but I really think the extra time was worth it!

African violets and milk glass

Last year I was in need of some new pots for my African violets.  I really enjoy starting new plants from the original plant that my mother-in-law gifted me.  I have always loved knobby milk glass so why not put the two together.  They have become some of my favorite things!
