Okay - here we go again!!
1) I don't have any money -- they can sue me if they want...they won't get anything.
2) My stuff will probably NEVER be published anywhere....so how would they know
3) I have QE6....would be hard for ANYONE to decide I'd used their pattern.
There hard 100s of patterns out there....ALL of them are a spin-off of some other person's quilt. If a magazine or designer says I can't sell them, then I won't make a quilt from their pattern....but I WILL make one from MY designs.
