I thought Betty Cotton has a copyright for her reversible quilts.

Sorry, no, it is not a copyright, it is a patent.
U.S. Patent No. 6696129
So methods can be patented but not copyrighted.

Well, I guess it doesn't matter to me anymore. After I spent the afternoon making blocks, taking pictures, and writing down instructions, I found another website that made it exactly like mine. Oh well, it's still a cute block.

You have not copied the other website, so it is okay for you to post your instructions. It's very common to find the same way of doing something explained in multiple books, patterns, and websites. Some explain it better than others.

I agree post on your blog. you went to the trouble of getting the pics and instructions together. I love the sharing nature of quilters.
