Nested Square and Cross Bloom Coloring Page
Squares inside squares inside diamonds, this nested square and cross bloom coloring page layers geometry so tightly that every section you finish reveals another hidden frame underneath.
Each medallion is built around a small nested square at its center, ringed by a four-lobed curved cross whose rounded arms reach toward corner diamonds. Fan-shaped wedges fill every gap between the medallions, giving the overall grid a dense, stained-glass quality.
Colorists will enjoy the satisfying rhythm of working outward from each tiny square through its surrounding layers. The page belongs to the Geometric Designs collection and sits at the complex end of that range, making it ideal for a long, meditative session rather than a quick fill. Repeating the same three-color sequence across every medallion is one easy strategy, or treat each row as its own palette for a quilt-like result.
Concentric squares, four-lobed blooms, and radiating fans fill this nested square and cross bloom coloring page. Free instant download.

Usage Notes
Colored pencils are a natural match here because the layered concentric squares demand precise tip control and easy pressure variation for shading outward from the center. Watercolor pencils used dry let you blend adjacent fan sections softly without bleeding into the fine dividing lines. Alcohol markers can fill the larger curved cross arms quickly, but keep a steady hand near the nested square outlines since the lines are close together and bleed spreads fast in those zones.
Printing Tips
Cardstock at 65 lb or heavier is worth it for a page this dense. Lighter copy paper can buckle if you layer colored pencil heavily across so many small sections, and the fan areas especially benefit from a surface with a little tooth.
