I don't know much but I do know this is not true when a quilt is made from a purchased pattern. Credit should be given but you do not need permission to display it. If the quilt show says you need permission to enter it then that's their rules not copyright rules.
The hotel is a business and should have known better then to copy a design close enough to be recognized by the creator. That was stupid and the hotel probably lost just on that reasoning alone. LOL
