Gramof6.....I totally agree. It IS confusing!!! I just glanced thru magazines for quilting AND stained glass. There's hardly ANY patterns there that don't take some form of a block (or glass pattern) and adjust it a little and call it "theirs". I, for one, am going ahead with what I want to do -- sell what I make. If they find me in this little podunk town, want to hire an attorney for my piddley amount of $$ I'd make off them....then so be it. Now, if I were going into mass production .....yeah, that's a different story. But think of it.......the bigbox stores are selling quilts that are VERY much like those we see in the magazines...in fact, some are identical except for the fabric.....any of you want to sue Walmart or J.C. Penny's?????
