I saw a post on Pinterest of a picture of a block. I could not see any seam lines as it just looked like a drawing. I did hand draw the star and used it a memory quilt for my son and his wife. There were no directions, nor any credit to the designer. So I created the star on graph paper, then figured out how to put it together. When I shared my finished quilt at my guild, they asked me to teach them how to make the block. So back to the drawing board and research. I was finally able to find the designer and found she had paper pieced the block. I had completely pieced my block and it was much bigger. So the pattern I made and the directions I created were very different. When I went back the second time to get the creator’s name to give credit for my inspiration, I could not find it. Would this be considered as copying?

Ha – tricky ground! I think we go with the accepted protocol for each discipline… In quilting, WE ACKNOWLEDGE. Creative Bug should have asked for inspiration source in the their entry docs, and the maker should always cite. On food, we don’t have such rules… we can ‘fess to buying it, or cite the recipe if asked. No one expects attribution cards at a dinner party!

Thank you! And yep… I’m the fighter for this!

She claimed she was just ignorant, but it takes skill to strip someone out of a tutorial.

Would you mind sharing your insight on a related topic? What about people who don’t credit a designer when they show pictures of their work?
I was dismayed recently when Creativebug showed winners of a monthly award and I recognized a project from a book, executed exactly the way the author had done it but not credited to her. On the other hand I have accepted compliments on food I have served to guests without disclosing that I didn’t cook it but bought it prepared.

This is a message that needs to be said over and over again. Great article! Keep fighting the good fight!

I just don’t understand why they can’t just link to the tutorial or free pattern ?? It really doesn’t make any sense unless the person is trying to fob off as her design – so pathetic really !

I bought her a copy of the pattern for a birthday gift and then was able to have a conversation with my small friendship group about this issue.
