Question "Pinning" QB Members Quilts on Pinterest

I've seen a lot of quilts on Pinterest that link back here to QB. Do members mind (care?) that people are pinning their quilts? People seem to go to Google Images and pin from there. When you click on the actual photo, it links back to QB. Whenever you post a photo here on QB, it automatically files it into Google Images. (I just linked to Falling Charms Quilts and a beautiful autumn color quilt made by Wendys Quilts is one of the images. She posted it here when she completed it.) I guess by posting pictures here at QB, they become "public domain" in that they show up in Google.

I have seen many quilts that I love, but want to respect QB members. How do members feel about having their quilts pinned to another board (Pinterest in particular)? I am a firm believer in giving credit where credit's due, so if a quilt links back to QB, should they be pinned with the maker's name (board name of course)?

Just an inquiring mind that wants to know.

Thanks.

Anita
