The bethlehem star with the end of the trail was what gave me the inspiration to create something for my sister but because I am a beginner there is no way I know how to make or have the knowledge to create a star right now.
This is my opinion about copy rights. If the quilt is already made and you see a finished project ASK!!!!!! if you see a quilt and you want to make one like it ASK!!!!! If you see a quilt and it makes you want to create one totally different then it is your design. I believe that would be the correct way to handle the copy right problem.
I am pretty sure that this is what I understood from the copy right discussion. If I am wrong please let me know. I do not want any problems with anyone.

You're good Tami, if that is your plan..
The only problem that I see in this thread is the suggestion that you print the picture, enlarge and trace it and use it for your own template
This particular subject, the "end of trial", is very common and has been used by many, but you cant just trace someone elses version of it and use it for yourself.. just write the man and ask, Im sure you will either get permission to use it for free or for a small fee
And dont forget to give him credit for the drawing.
Your plan to use it as inspiration and do your own thing is fine
And the star is an old pattern, no problem there either...
