Still loving the quilt, and would love to do this pattern. Is it freely available?

thanks everyone, for all your comments and suggestions.
I think I'm going to try to cleverly place some darts and stuff, and with the close meandering quilting I plan to put on it, hopefully it's not going to show up too much.
