Autumn Leaf Cookie Quilt (Tutorial)






I'm excited to share a new CookieCrazie custom cutter that combines my love for autumn and quilts.
 

This new autumn leaf cutter allows you to create a tessellation pattern.

tessellate  -- v.  [tes-uh-leyt]

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

As you cut out each leaf, place them on the cookie sheet interlocked together and bake them.


When removing them from the oven, carefully separate each with a small knife while they are warm.

Baking them all together will ensure that they fit together just like a puzzle.

Decorate each one unique......or form a pattern as you choose.

Here's a couple of time lapsed videos of individual leaf cookies being decorated:
















Here's a fun video showing the "building of the quilt". :)

Autumn Quilt Square Cookies (Tutorial)





Quilts and Cookies are the perfect combination!
And autumn's beauty and shapes are the perfect time to pull them all together.


Cut out very large square cookies (85 mm below) and lay them side by side on the cookie sheet.
Using cutters that have similar sizes, cut shapes into the cookie squares.
(Shapes used here: leaf, pumpkin, acorn)


Bake all the shapes together as one big "quilt".
When they come out of the oven, use a knife to separate the square blocks.
(This ensures individual quilt blocks, but they fit perfectly together for display.)

Outline and flood all the shapes (inside the squares) with tan glaze.
Dry the cookies for 4 hours and then press the burlap texture mat into the partially-dried glaze.
(Another texture mat could be used, if desired.)


Brush the burlap shapes with caramel pearl dust.


Outline and flood the rest of each square with glaze in various autumn colors.
Add a wet-on-wet pattern if desired.
(see photo below)


If desired, dry glaze for 2 hours and then poke holes along edges of each square for stitch marks.
Pipe stitches between each hole.
(see photo below)



Dry overnight.

Randomly brush caramel pearl dust over each quilt block.
