Just how much of a quilting opportunist are you and how many of us are willing to admit it?
How many times have you "shared" a pattern with a friend?
How many times have you seen something and not bought the pattern, magazine, etc and drafted one of your own "patterns" to make said item?
Have you ever read something in a book and based upon that description made a pattern or found one to use that depicts that description.
How many times have you "borrowed" someone's idea and used it?
(You may have changed it slightly...... Or, maybe implemented an idea from a brainstorming session....)
I could on and on.

big time ... i am a big-time opportunista ... i am sometimes able to make a design my own (Mr. Husker's Homestead is a combination of a dozen other quilts/blocks that i thought were awesome) but i am not above blatantly copying something that i think is already non-improvable ... and i am totally willing to give credit where credit is due ... it doesn't make much sense to me to reinvent the wheel ...... by the way - those moon blocks that you made? well, i had a dream about them the other night - made up in some moonscape fabric that i bought a couple of years ago and totally NOT in a Twilight context - and if i ever create what i dreamed, i will definitely give you props!
