If someone then recreates it, you should feel honoured rather than upset.

I would love info like: this was was made by Fiona K, using XYZ pattern (designer and company), fabric from the "Poppy" range, designed by Chong a Hwang for Timeless Treasures, and quilted by Quilting by Fiona with "Poppy Border" designed by Patricia Ritter for Urban Elementz.

Wow... Now that I have written it like that it really does show that there are a lot of factors involved in making a great quilt! But if it is on display... Why not give credit where credit is due....

Yes words you should live by Fiona

Generally the entry form asks/ requires this information when you enter a quilt. The name of the quilt or information the ( viewer) sees does not necessarily show that information. Entry forms always require, if a commercial pattern is used the name of the pattern/designer - so credit is given.

If you have participated with any quilt competition, there is already a huge amount of information that is required to be filled out on an entry form. But i do agree, if I saw a pattern I liked, it would be convenient to have that info on the entry form attached to the quilt.

I have seen many at shows that stated the pattern and gave credit to the longarmer, and others. I say go for it. It will put you in a good light.
