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.

The caterpillar is on one side and the vine thing connects him, via the cocoon, to the butterfly on the other side.

Lee, I love it! You said you wanted the quilt to be "quiet" and you did it so wonderfully!! It has just enough color and movement to capture a child's attention without being overwhelming. Your vine is a great way to connect the two sides. Great job!!

Thank you so much for your kind words -- people have had mixed reactions to the whole thing. I will say it was probably the hardest quilt I have ever made, in that there was no pattern and I am not original at all. I tore out and redid almost everything except the original two panels. Now I'm off doing the polka dot star quilt I have been itching to get started on!
