I rather like Mondays. It’s the start of a new week, and if we are not off and about somewhere in our caravan, it’s also “Roll the Dice” day. Which I have done this morning, and the dice rolled to number three. That's exciting, it is a new project on my list, a 1930s baby quilt which I started goodness knows how long ago. And this is what I had prepared earlier.
I received a gift of assorted 1930s fabrics from my pen-friend Margaret in Birmingham, England, when we visited while travelling around UK on holiday for 3 months. And that was way back in 2008. Readers should know by now that I have some very old UFOs indeed! When we returned home I purchased a few more fabrics and made these Cobblestone blocks. And then they sat, locked away somewhere, until I remembered them and added this project to my List of Six.
Also tucked away with the blocks were some extra fabrics to use in the cot quilt, plus some 2 inch squares sent by another pen-friend. Which I may or may not use - I’ll have to see how it all comes together. We have a few things on this week, but I should be able to get some sewing done. Wish me luck.

I love 1930s fabrics and the cobblestone blocks will make a cute baby quilt....
Good luck with your progress. It should be cute when it is finished.
I like these blocks and they're a cute idea for a baby quilt. It's nice to have a project to pick up and continue rather than having to start fresh all the time.
Lovely design and fabrics for a smaller quilt. Breaking news!! We had sunshine for most of today.
This looks like a fun way to choose your next project. Good luck!
The colors are perfect for a baby quilt. I love 1930s fabrics and colors.
It's snowing here this morning.
Very nice project to be working on.
At first I was not fond of cobblestone blocks but they are growing on me and I think they can be great for I Spy Quilts.
I love your fabrics and the result is going to be very sweet.
