Custom Machine Quilt A Medallion Quilt with Natalia Bonner
Join professional machine quilter Natalia Bonner inside the PNQ Academy as she custom machine quilts a stunning Medallion quilt from start to finish! In this detailed, behind-the-shoulder video, Natalia walks you through her entire quilting process—breaking down how she approaches a medallion layout, where she adds structure, and how she repeats motifs to create beautiful flow and balance.
You’ll watch in real time as she combines ruler quilting and simple, effective motifs to enhance every section of the medallion. Along the way, Natalia shares the why behind her choices—how she centers the backing, how she uses seams as reference points, why she switches directions for interest, and when she trusts the process and lets the design unfold.
Whether you’re looking for medallion-specific quilting ideas, smart ruler-quilting strategies, or simply love seeing custom quilting come together stitch by stitch, this video is packed with inspiration you can apply to your own quilts.
