Hi Monica I would say that if you made them at the sizes you have listed you wouldn`t be far wrong, what you have to remember is that cobblestones wouldn`t necessarily be all the same size, hope that helps.

Basically cobbles are hand cut with hammer and chisel, We have loads over here.

Here is a photo I snapped on Tuesday, With my size 10 for a bit of scale

As you can see they'er a good mish mash of sizes, in both length and width. Made from granite. Conveniently these are wet so you can see the colours as well!
Hope this is some help.
