Oh my! How many times have I seen a quilt made with simple shapes for a child in tons of patterns and magazines. I don't understand how they can copyright something that has been around for as long as applique has been in existence. I am thinking this must be one special quilt for you to be so nervous about copying it.
The thing that gets to me is, people are able to rip out the pages of the magazine and sell them with no fear of being sued as long as they are selling the originals. Huh? That sure seems weird to me, but happens all the time on e-bay.
I personally like the idea of sighting the original maker as the inspiration response.
