Holiday Tessellation Decorated Cookie Collection

, ,

With my love of quilt patterns, I'm always fascinated to find new tessellation patterns.

Tessellate : to form small squares or blocks, as floors or pavements;
form or arrange in a checkered or mosaic pattern.

Tessellation Cookie Patterns from the past:

 

I just found some new pattern cutters and decided to create holiday-ish cookies with them.


First I used the Moroccan Cross and Star Tile cutters for the following two cookie patterns.

 
 

And then my favorite shape is this Deco de Lis cutter.

Christmas Scrapbook Layer Cookies (Tutorial)





There's something about the "scrapbook layering" look that appeals to me!
Once I saw a photo of scrapbook letters that had a kraft brown background and patterned fabric on top, I was determined to make something similar on a cookie.


This alphabet cutter set is one of my favorites!

And I used one of my first CookieCrazie Custom Cutters....
the homespun Christmas tree since it went so well with this scrapbook look.

Outline and flood the cookies with tan glaze.
Allow them to dry for several hours so they are no longer tacky on top.

Carefully brush some warm brown airbrush color over the partially-dried tan glaze.


Allow the cookies to dry for about thirty minutes and then create a colorful pattern on each one.
Make sure to leave an outer edge when filling in the "fabric" pattern so that the tan shows through.

Christmas Tree Quilt Block Cookies

Keeping with the theme of Christmas and quilts,

I'm excited to introduce you to a new

CookieCrazie Custom Cookie Cutter

!

It is made by

Creative Cookier

and part of the proceeds of the sale go to my

Ukraine mission effort

.

This tree quilt block cutter is the perfect shape to building a cute Christmas tree quilt.

It is another tessellation shape that allows for repeat pieces to fit together.

We created an autumn leaf quilt block cutter this fall with the same idea.

I added a little tree trunk cookie to the bottom to complete an actual tree shaped set.

Christmas Quilt Cookies (Tutorial)






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.
(see photo below)

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.
Squares and diamonds work well.
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. :)
