there's been some confusion regarding copyrights issues, so some surgical editing has been done to head off problems. there are several threads going on now about this particular pattern, so i'm getting dizzy trying to keep up. :lol:

"Fabric Fling" is the title of a pattern/instructions written and published by a specific author for sale on the commercial market.

sooooo any efforts to "reproduce" or to "restate" the instructions as written by this author using that title are a copyrights no-no.

even though this block is not unique, and the layout can be found all over the place going back uncounted years, the author no doubt invested a great deal of her time and energy writing and illustrating her version of the instructions, arranging for publication, marketing, advertising, etc.

we need to respect her efforts and investment, and her legal right to determin proper use of her pattern by not pirating or paraphrasing the results or by "borrowing" her title for the quilt(s) produced from her instructions.

clear as mud?
