Go ahead and make it . I am sure you probably did not get the exact fabrics. and copyright only pertains to words... and only some images. The nike swosh is a trademark and a whole different set of laws come into play for a Trademark.
Yes immitation is the most sincere form of flattery... unless you are going to profit from anothers work... but even then when it comes to design there is little protection under the law... that why there are so many knock-offs the day after a show... ask any dress designer. The only time this is a issue is when a "false label( example Coach purse labels) ", trademark. You could make all the Coach type bags you want... but the minute you put the Coach name on it is when there is a problem.
I know if I posted a quilt and someone liked it enough to make a copy .. I would be flattered.
