Pattern description
A symmetrical floral medallion radiates from the center outward, featuring a cream-colored four-petaled flower at its heart surrounded by ornate gold scrollwork and crimson rosettes. The cool blue-green background creates a sophisticated backdrop for the warm accents, while navy and burgundy square motifs frame the perimeter in a balanced, rhythmic pattern. This 84 x 84 stitch count makes it substantial enough to showcase fine detail without overwhelming the stitcher.
The nine-color palette balances jewel tones and metallics beautifully. Blue, navy, and teal dominate the field while touches of garnet red, cream, and golden tan add visual interest and prevent the design from feeling too cool or muted. Each color serves a distinct purpose: the darker tones anchor the composition, while the lighter shades lift and brighten the intricate elements.
Perfect for ornament projects or framed needlework, this intermediate-level pattern rewards patient stitchers with professional results. The geometric symmetry makes counting manageable despite the design's complexity, making it ideal for crafters ready to move beyond beginner projects. Whether stitched on 14-count Aida in traditional DMC threads or personalized with alternatives, this medallion brings timeless elegance to any holiday collection or home decor scheme.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
