As many have said, there are just way too many blocks out in the public domain with instructions on how to make them. So, what ever would you need to buy a magazine and use a pattern out of it to copy something someone else did? also, just learned my Mother just bought me three quilting books. Two of them have the same copyright statement in them and the third one has no copyright statement in it anywhere. She said she went thru it 3 times with a magnifying glass and couldn't find anything. Now that's a book I want and will use. Somebody's got the right idea.
