-
Click WORKTABLE > Work on Quilt.
-
Click QUILT > New Quilt > choose Horizontal or On-point.
-
Click the Layout tab.
-
Under Number of blocks, make Horizontal 1 and Vertical 1.
-
Under Finished size of blocks, make the block size you want.
-
Under Finished size of sashing, you can create a small border around the medallion by choosing a sashing size other than 0.00. For Horizontal Layouts, you must also click the check “Include sash border.”
-
Click the Borders tab. You can now create as many borders, in whatever style you would like, to create multiple borders surrounding your central medallion.
- Click the Layer 1 tab. You can now set blocks, including into the sashing.
Note:
If you want a center square larger than 48″, click QUILT > Options > click “All Styles” under “Layout Options” > increase the block size allowed.
If you want to use square blocks in your border, be sure to use a border style with “Tile” in its name. The “Tile” borders force the block to be square.

i don’t really understand this solution. Would a medallion quilt not be a series of layers or borders being added to a center design? It would be great to see a very basic example of how to do that. Start with a center design by using an existing block, and then for example add a border of flying geese around that center square. Then add checkerboard rectangular blocks around that and then so on. Maybe I am missing something but I would expect there to be a series of borders of differing widths being added moving outward. Maybe I just answered my own question. I am strictly a beginner and just learning!

i reread the original response. Maybe where I get stuck is changing the snap to grid size and block sizes as you go along. Would love to know where I can go for more examples.
