I watched a quilt shop employee demo how to make a block that is in a quilt book. It was easy to do and I came home and made several. If a shop is demoing a technique for free is it okay to post how it is done here? It's a very cleaver way to piece. The shop was pushing the fabric line used in the blocks not the book.

Why not?

why not, we showed how to do bargello's; there are lots of books, we 'demo'd' how to do cathedral windows, again there's a book...a technique is not copyrighted, just the designs a person makes using the technique. if we could not show how to make interesting blocks no one would know how to make a log cabin block...it's just a technique and techiques are good to share :)

I dont see why not, we are all here to learn! lol We may just have to learn 2 lessons!! :) :) :)

I dont think its against any rules. I would LOVE to see it!

Show us show us lol!

Ask Patrice to be on the safe side.

I don't see any problem with it.

A technique cannot be copyrighted, but the name of it can be registered so watch what you call it if you do a tute. I agree with wvdek, check with Patrice to be safe and sure before you post your version.

Did Patrice give you permission to do this? I would really like to see the technique.
