Default copyright?

In my job, I travel to a lot of places, and often look for quilt stores when I have time. in one of those little, out-of-the-way stores, I found several quilt patterns that I wanted, as well as some beautiful fabric. When I got home, I put it away for several weeks, then got one of the patterns out to look at. It has the usual "... cannot be copied or reproduced in any way without written permission from the designer...". Ok, I get that. But the pattern that I thought was a quilt pattern, is actually a cd for embroidery. It has been several weeks, as I said, and honestly don't even remember where I bought it, so I can't try to return it. I could probably figure out how to get a reasonable pattern from the pictures to be able to make the quilt, but does that infringe on the "... not reproduce in any way..." thing?
