As long as you aren't making any money by selling the idea you should be ok. If you think you're copying to closely, just make some changes to make it your own. But, as someone else said, don't get too wrapped up about it. It's only a quilt.

our actions should not be based on what's most convenient or pleasing to us.
they should be based on law and ethics.
would you tell your child it's ok to copy off another during a test just because he didn't write the questions, didn't decide which answers were correct, or because other children might also be cheating?
