I recently saw a baby quilt pattern in a sales catalog that is very cute, but is so incredibly simple I could easily make it without the pattern. Is it a great big No-No to make a quilts like this (as a gift or for charity) without buying the pattern?

that would be like seeing a dress somewhere and not being able to go home and make it i think every body is to wrapped up in that stuff. Really we are just quilters

I don't think there's anything wrong with figuring a pattern out yourself as long as you don't claim to have designed it yourself.

I agree with everyone else - if you're not claiming the design as your own, even if you figured it out yourself, go nuts!
I have never made a quilt from an actual pattern...just looked and figured it out.

can you describe the design. It is really difficult to give an informed answer. Was the sales catalog a quilting catalog or from a department store.

I would think if you always referred to the design as "inspired by blah, blah, blah.", it would be ok.
