no
You MIGHT be doing something wrong. If the quilt is an original design then it is copyright protected, with or without and express statement of such. You ARE doing something wrong if you copy somebody else's original design without their permission.
Hmmm. The quilt in my avatar is from a pattern I bought at a LQS that I imagine is protected by copyright. I always give pattern credit when asked about it. I have never copied or given the pattern to anyone else. But I didn't get permission from the company to post that picture. That isn't illegal is it? Just if someone else were to copy it and make another quilt?
