Quilts aren't clones, (Walmart quilts excepted)
--------------------------------------------------------------
I do not understand your comment. What does Walmart have to do with this?
------------------------------------------
Lots of quilts are sold by Walmart and are made in China, which seems to be the major producer of such things, and lots of them are, or seem to me to be duplicates. I haven't spent that much time on checking for accuracy, but China doesn't seem worried about copyrights, so I won't either on the quilts Wally sells.
I have a pattern that I'm waiting for someone to want badly, so since I also love it, I'll make ME a copy and then give it to them. I think that would be legal, since someone bought this for full price and I in turn bought it at a flea market at a vastly reduced price, so if I give it to someone it should not be illegal.
Or even selling it in a yard sale...makes my head spin, thinking of all the twists and turns of the law.
