I guess I am wondering how would they know? There are so many quilts with the same pattern with different names. I would think it would have to be pretty obvious or original pattern for it to have a copyright to one person. Is there any new pattern any more? Most patterns go back to what?....Adam and Eve.

Answer: a quilt show is a public display and therefore only the designer can enter the quilt However you can ask permission. the magazine owns or shares the copyright and should be approached for permission.
I can't believe this, talk about quilt police...our guild has a local quilt show and wouldn't be displaying anything if this was the correct procedure....unbelieveable
