A subdued silk screen-printed textile panel with a black ground that pops with vibrantly-colored, repeating vertical rows of stylized, magenta and mauve and lemon and orange round flowers, possibly sweet williams or phlox, which are accented by smaller floral varieties in blue, mauve, yellow, and orange, with sage green stems and leaves. The linear floral arrangements undulate horizontally with movement and are crossed vertically with columned trellises that are weaving with tumbling, carnation-like orange and yellow flowers, such that a repeating grid, quilt-like pattern is formed, whereby each floral square repeats twenty times.
