Iam not confussed. A copyright applies to the method in which the pattern is put together: ie-=10 min. quilt blocks. there is nothing new under the sun.====geometricly a block is a block and and triangle is a triangle. all has been copyrighted hundreds of years ago. so only the new fabric with the certain design can be copy righted. You people out there can fight and sue each other all you want but and that is a big but-----all kinds of extending type circumstances exist for a geometric design. See the Greeks in the 700's for designs. You print and sell a design it is yours you paid for it like buying a car or a piece of furniture, like the lady said Is my stove copyrighted????? can't sell it cause the lady across the street is selling her----------don't think so!..... Just check the method of putting the blks together as far as copyright goes. And that is mostlikely why I cannot find the fabric I like----they only make 1 copyright bolt and sell it and thats that.????
