Heart Patchwork Quilt Decorated Cookie Collection

If you've been around this blog for any length of time, you know how much I love quilts.....and how I love to incorporate them in my cookie sets.

This one didn't require any special cutters or patterns. I just took nine square cookies and imprinted hearts within them before baking to create a 3D illusion.

The decorating process was fun because I kept the cookies together the entire time and decorated them all at once. I even have a video to prove it. :)

It was super fun to make a simple, yet effective quilt pattern... made with tons of love.

Gingerbread cookies are the cutest.......but they also fill the house with the "smell of Christmas". Everytime I bake them, the nostalgia comes over me as I open that oven door and catch a waft of that spic-y cinnamon-y yumm-y smell that immediately reminds me of Christmas memories.

Here's the "official" gingerbread cookie set of the season, complete with several ginger people, a house, and lots of "merry-ness". ❤️

Christmas + Quilts = Bliss
As you can see.....I love both with a passion.
Combining a Christmas theme with a quilt theme must be the ultimate, right?

A few years ago, Ginny of Creative Cookier made this fun tree cutter for me that allows you to make a tessellation. I can't seem to get enough of it. Every year, I look at that cutter and want to make a new set. It's fun to see the different patterns over the years...... side by side.

This year's quilt included burlap molded cookie dough for every other tree. That rustic look gets me every time.

Check out my previous posts on making tessellation cookie sets for tips on how to create a set that fits well together and coordinates best.

Here's some of my previous creations with the tessellation theme.
