Cross Medallion Grid Coloring Page, Layered Tile Pattern
Every unit of this cross medallion grid coloring page contains its own small world: a raised cross, a rounded frame, and four pinched hourglass corners waiting for color.
Squares lock into squares across the entire page, each medallion built from a bold cross at its center, a rounded inner frame, and a scalloped outer border that links cleanly to its neighbors. The result reads almost like historic encaustic tile work, dense but orderly.
Look closely and you will find the hourglass shapes at each corner junction acting as connective tissue between medallions. That interplay gives colorists a satisfying choice: treat each tile as a self-contained unit, or pull one color across the joining shapes to unify the grid. This cross medallion grid coloring page sits firmly in the Geometric Designs collection, and the uniform cell size makes it meditative without being monotonous.

How to Approach Your Cross Medallion Grid Coloring Page
Usage Notes
Alcohol markers move fast across the evenly sized cells here, laying flat color without streaking if you work one medallion at a time. Colored pencils with a sharp point are your best ally for the tiny hourglass connectors and the cross arms, where control matters more than speed. Avoid brush markers on the narrow borders between cells since the wet tip can easily jump a line and flood an adjacent zone.
Printing Tips
Card stock at 65 lb or heavier keeps the dense linework crisp and prevents any bleed-through if you use markers. If ink conservation matters, a draft-mode print still renders the bold outlines clearly enough to color without losing detail.
