It's the colors that you adore. Copying someone else's colors show that you appreciate their color sense. There is no copyright on that. You will be proud of yourself for doing so.

I so agree. I'm very resistant to being manipulated into buying something, which is also why I don't buy many quilt patterns.....to date, only two. But I do understand that there are those who would rather buy the rulers/patterns than figure it out themselves, and I respect that position, too. I was raised by parents who lived through the Depression and I guess I've never gotten over it.....they never did, either!
