Cross Square Medallion Coloring Page, Nested Rectangles and X Fill
Four rows deep, the cross square medallion coloring page locks nested rectangles, X clusters, and zigzag borders into a grid that rewards a slow, methodical hand.
Each repeat builds outward from a central nested rectangle, crossed by broad arms that meet at diamond corner joints. The surrounding field is packed with X motifs and stacked zigzag bands, leaving almost no empty space between medallions.
Colorists will enjoy the contrast between the bold cross structure and the finer texture work in the X and zigzag zones. Part of the Geometric Designs collection, this page sits at a high complexity level, making it the kind of session where an hour disappears without notice. Choosing two or three anchor colors for the medallion centers, then a separate palette for the filler sections, keeps the composition readable.

Usage Notes
Watercolor pencils used dry give beautiful, controllable coverage in the narrow X and zigzag zones without bleeding across tight line boundaries. Blending pencils help unify the larger cross arms where you want smooth transitions between two shades. Fine liners are worth having nearby if you want to reinforce any lines that pick up pigment during the session, but keep a light touch since the printed outlines are already crisp.
Printing Tips
At standard 8.5 by 11, the filler motifs between medallions are genuinely small. Scaling up to 110 or 115 percent before printing opens those zones noticeably and makes the X clusters easier to color without overrunning a boundary. Use at least 24 lb copy paper; lighter stock can warp if you are working with watercolor pencils even in dry mode.
