Mixing the Christmas and quilt themes into cookies is an awesome combination.
I did this set of cookies two years ago, and I'm just now posting them.
It was a series of uncontrollable events that I'll try to rectify in this moment. :)
This blog post is a compilation of a few ways you can create quilt cookies at Christmas.
We'll start with "puffy" quilts......

To get the billowy puffy "blocks" within a quilt,
start by flooding the main part of the cookie in your color glaze of choice.
After it has dried for at least two hours,
use a square cutter to imprint the block shapes within the quilt.

Outline and flood the square shapes with another layer of glaze.
This layer gives it that puffy look.
The boarder of the quilt can be decorated in whatever way you'd like.
For these two quilt cookies, I went with a "lace" like edge.....piping lots of dots and lines.
For a much easier quilt set-up, make several (12-15) cookies of the same size and shape.
Make glaze in 3-4 colors and decorate each shape uniquely.
Try dots, stripes, plaid, snowflakes, holly, trees, etc.
Once they are dry, place them all on a platter together,
and you have a beautiful Christmas Cookie Quilt. :)
