The pattern designer has a book: https://www.amazon.com/Peeled-Back-P.../dp/1574328581
I don't think this pattern is in it, but it will let you see the technique, and it has some really beautiful quilt patterns. Perhaps you can borrow it from your library?

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I emailed Southwinds Quilts and while the pattern is not available as a download, the shipping charge to Canada is only $3.00. That is certainly much more reasonable than the first website I checked and so I ordered it from Southwinds. Annette responded to my email within minutes and gave me the shipping cost. Great service.
