Technically, yes!
Likewise copying it--the "fair use" thing is kinda sticky and can spawn hours and pages of debate!
I think there is nothing wrong with copying to make templates( I do tracings for mine), but it is too easy for the copier to be off a smidge (and does THAT lead to problems!) or an easier way to keep track of the pattern layout while working on the quilt, but when you copy and share, that IS a violation of copyright law.
