Unless you use the copyrighted name, how does someone prove that your design (influenced by many you have seen "somewhere") which resulted in a finished product that happened to be similar or maybe even very much like what someone else came up with, is copyright infringement?

Most times when I make something, I'm not following anyone's instructions to the letter, even if I started with a pattern.

And most of what I do is pieced geometric blocks, almost if not all of which can be found with half a dozen different traditional names.

And most of the copyrighted material I've seen is based on use of traditional blocks, just maybe in unique color ways or combinations.
