Please explain this one to me: I bought a packet of quilting motifs. A couple years later I made a table topper from one of the quilting magazines most current issues. When looking thru my books for a design to quilt it with, I saw the exact design as the applique from the new magazine, in the quilting motif packet I had bought years before, but it was not the same name as the designer of the topper. The motif was published first. The magazine "designer" took this motif, used it for the applique border, which was the major part of the project, and it was published in the magazine as her own design. It was the exact design, and, I believe, the same size. It looked as though nothing was changed. This was a well known quilter/designer.
