i'm disappointed by this. if a person invests time, effort and money in designing and making a quilt she/he believes is orginal then we should not feel free to copy it without his/her permission.

if we can prove it isn't original, the kind and sensitive thing to do would be to send her a pm to explain how and why we can prove it. not to chastise her. but to prevent her being publicly embarrassed because of an innocent mistake.

we should not make fun of anybody who chooses to no longer share her/his work with us because too many others have made it clear they will do as they please and not consider what may be right, wrong, ethical, or fair. that's like criticizing a gunshot victim for standing in the way of the bullet. :hunf:

this is a public board. so we share our work with other within the framework of the Honor System.

emphasis on the word Honor.
