With Bird and Butterfly Graphic, a panel of butterfly images is surrounded by graphic symbols of birds, nests and wings. A sense of flight is emphasized by the undulating bargello patchwork pattern. Bargello is a rhythmic design named after 17th century flame-stitched chairs at the Bargello Palace in Florence, Italy.
