Combining winter and quilts......it just makes sense.
There's nothing like a warm cozy quilt when you're chilly from the cold weather.
Even though I've already done a fun
Christmas tree quilt with my new
tree quilt block custom cutter,
I didn't want to slight winter in any way.....so I decorated a winter tree quilt cookie quilt too.
As you cut each tree, place it on the cookie sheet interlocked with the other "quilt blocks".
To make a complete rectangle, you'll have to use half trees on the sides (as seen below).
When the pieces bake all together, it ensures that they will fit together well after the fact.
Note: While the cookies are still hot from the oven, use a small sharp knife to gently cut
between each tree to make sure they will each separate later.
if a border is desired, try hand-cutting a lace border using
this mold.
Cut strips long enough to surround the perimeter of the quilt.
Decorate each tree as desired.
Each of the "quilt blocks" below were done with a varying wet-on-wet techniques.
For the lace borders, outline and flood all of them with white glaze.
Allow them to dry for 4 hours.
If desired, use
this embosser on partially dried glaze to give the trees a more quilted effect.
