Default What happens in this situation?

Yesterday, I was looking for inspiration for a new quilt. Inspired by the patterns of some moroccan floor tiles that I saw online, I drew up a pattern for a lap quilt with fabric requirements, cutting directions and stitching instructions. As it is not a very technical design, I did a Google search today to see if there was anything similar already out there. Lo and behold, an identical design already exists, although I have no idea of the construction method.

So this is my question. If you use a another designers quilt pattern, it is obviously common practice (and good manners) to mention the designer on your quilt label. But in this case, I designed my quilt before I knew that there was an identical pattern already available. When I am finished making my quilt using the pattern I drew up, what do I put on the label?
