So many patterns I have seen being sold are not original. Most of my quilts I make are for charity so I don't worry about putting a design layout into EQ and adding my own bit of originality to the quilt. I made quilts from a store who published numerous quilting books and actually sold my quilts at fairs that were held at their store and they never complained. They actually asked if they could photograph my quilts for their books and I of course said yes.
