do you for some reason believe a lawyer could not be a quilter? or a member of this board? this board is full of many many knowledgeable people, Lawyers, Doctors, Designers, Authors- there is no reason to not ask the questions here.

Why pay $300+ to ask a lawyer and after he researches billing you for his time and a consultation fee, be told each copyright case is different according to factors. My neighbor is a lawyer, I just asked him. He said no lawyer can give you an exact answer on copyright, if you are sued then that's when it's hashed out in court who is right. He thinks you are okay not to be sued to design your own using the image as inspiration for personal use. Just saved you $300 +. LOL.

I'm thinking if you can figure out how to turn that into a quilt, more power to you!!!

NO, it is a good question for here!

to clarify, copyrights are generally NOT on the design elements, but are on the techniques, directions used to execute the making of the design! Even then, search the public domain blocks and you will find that your element might already be there!

Kind of a harsh reply. I see lots of questions on here asking about copyright laws and giving credit to the designer so this one doesn't seem out of place to me.

That is one amazing design, would love to see how it turns out, I don't think I could even begin to try to replicate that. Please show us the pictures when you finish!

Ouch!! Unfortunately, it's responses like this that make some of us hesitate to ask questions. There is no such thing as a dumb question, but when the response is this, it makes the one asking feel dumb.
