For the 3rd weekend in a row we have had constant rain which has kept us inside keeping dry and warm. I don't really mind the wet weather apart from the challenge of getting any laundry dried. The above blocks are based on an old pattern called "Cracker box" and are easy and quick to put together. All the fabrics are from my stash that have been patiently waiting for probably too long for the 'perfect project' to put them in. I have them teamed with a solid white to make these pretty prints stand out. Hoping to put them together tomorrow since there is more rain forecast for the rest of the week ....
I tried a couple of new recipes that I have pinned on to my Pinterest board
"Devour" to fill our tins for the coming week. Above is a very moreish
white chocolate blondie topped with cinnamon sugar, which I don't think will last the week ;-)
And these are White chocolate and gingerbread biscuits. I used
this recipe here but rolled them in sugar before baking and pressed in the white chocolate buttons while they were hot out of the oven as in
this recipe. These are a new favourite in our house now.

It's kind of nice to stay inside and bake once in awhile! Looks yummy.
oh first of all those yummy confections are tempting me!!! they look so good. my kids wish i would bake like that. i love the blocks you are working on. the fabrics are pretty. try to stay dry
Yummy goodies, but here in the UK we know all about wet weather entertainment lol
Can't wait to see the quilt made up!! I don't think plain white is used enough in quilts...it really does make special prints/fabrics stand out beautifully.
They look great blocks for scrap busting! If the rain keeps up you will get the whole quilt done! We haven't had any rain for so long. I mean good soaking rain. Sounds like you have had oodles. Its nice and cozy being inside pottering while it rains outside. And its probably perfect for eating your yummy cooking with a nice cup of tea.
