I never got a response from a lawyer, but I did Google it and basically I'd say we've covered the issue every way there is to cover it. Use common sense and if you are not sure, find out. If there are copyrights to something, just don't use it if you are afraid you are infringing, or get permission. Basically, I'd say that's it. If you are planning on selling a quilt, copying a pattern or showing it in a fair or show, contact the owner/publisher/designer/creator and get permission. Basically that's it in a nutshell.
