I did end up buying the book to go with the quilt. My quilt ended up two-sided with asymmetrical sides, so quilting was a bear, and in fact I mostly used ties (hundreds of them it seemed like!). I used bias tape with leaves to travel from the caterpillar, via cocoon, to the butterfly. I was so excited when the glue dots on the ties finally dried that I mailed it off without a picture! Here is the last one I got before sandwiching the two sides.
