Fractions...
Is Fractions a block or is it a pattern?
I've seen several patterns of Fractions, each being slightly different. It is a variation of a rail fence. Is Fractions the name of the pattern and copyrighted, or is it a block that is in the public domain?
Log cabin = block and in public domain
Rail fence = block and in public domain
Yellow Brick Road = pattern and copyrighted
Fractions = ???
Does anyone know??

I have seen lots of lesson plans for teachers using quilts to teach fractions but I've never seen a quilt block called fractions. I have seen a few quilt patterns which include fractions in their names. One is Charming Fractions by Kaye Wood.

YBR is a pattern, and the pattern itself is copyrighted, but the design itself is not original so can't be copyrighted. (It's just squares and rectangles in a fairly random pattern.) Is the copyright issue the problem with you making a quilt of this type? Or are you looking for a pattern? Can you post examples of what you want to make?

The only Fractions pattern I found has already been mentioned....Charming Fractions. But here is a look at it...

I made the quilt after seeing one somewhere. It's simply a large rail fence with a larger center. I made my own pattern, then many months later I saw the pattern Fractions by Mountainpeek Creations. Mine looks different because I used different fabric, but the basic rail fence block is the same.
I want to enter my quilt in a local quilt show that wants us to list the name and maker of the pattern used. Since I didn't know of the pattern before I made it and didn't use their pattern, am I required to credit them? If I make my own pattern, am I violating the copyright?
If it is a block, it's not a problem. If it's a copyrighted pattern, I'm not sure what to do.
I have attached a picture of my quilt. I don't know how to resize pictures, and I'm hoping it isn't huge.
