Many of the quilts that I've seen in books seem to be based on quilts/patterns that the book author saw 'someplace else.'
Where does 'public domain' end and 'copyright' begin"
I still don't understand how the author of the Dear Jane book - who DID NOT MAKE THE QUILT -and as far as I know - does not own it - can profit from it or prevent others from using the quilt for inspiration for OTHER books based on the quilt by Jane A. Stickles.
