Thanks Quilting Cat, all it said was patten pending, and that she didn't have a pattern for sale, so I guess she hasn't made a pattern to sell yet.. I didn't know the different in copyright and patent, thanks for the information on this, I'll have to think on this, if I still want to make some for our hospital, also thanks for letting me know about making a quilt that was inspired by someone else and to couldn't be the same in less you copied the pattern..
also thank everyone for your input on this..

You are not infringing on a copyright if your design is only inspired by or imitating another's design of which you have seen a picture. No way could your design be exactly the same as hers unless you bought her pattern and copied it.
