Actually, the best website for information on US copyright law is the US Copyright Office itself at http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/. The site referenced in the quoted posting is opinionated and onesided. It is maintained by eBay sellers, not attorneys.

I agree! Always go to the US copyright site for accurate info.

If you intentionally copied someone's design, I would consider your quilt a derivative work. It would be appropriate to purchase the designer's pattern, even if you made changes to dimensions, borders, etc.
