Dots

I am starting to feel a wee bit better (although eating anything other than soup or pudding is difficult), so I decided to venture out to the fabric store. I am looking ahead, and attempting to find red, orange and pink dotted fabric. I will be needing these pieces for the flowers on the borders of Dotted Madness. I came home with this selection, a good start.

One of the first things I do with newly acquired fabric is to cut off the selvege. I know there are lots of people out there making cool stuff with selveges, so I have made up bags of selveges to sell in my shop.
But it does get curious at times.

How can you copyright polka dots?

That's a strange one with the copyright. It's not like it's something unique. I love your collection of fabrics

That is just silly!

Auntie E said...

LOL.. that is so funny. I think I would find a way to use that Copyright Protected strip in A quilt. Just to make a statement.

LOL... that is just crazy... but I do like Auntie E's idea of using the copyright strip in a quilt. That would be kinda funny too. But your right, how do you copyright polka dots haha.

Not sure, perhaps it's both the pokadot with the color of the fabric combined? Maybe it's the size of the pokadots? :))

Love the fabrics. I've never seen copyright protected polka dots but agree that'd be cute fabric to use in a quilt.

Seems about as sensible as patenting genes. Lovely selection, though, and I'm glad you are feeling better.

Yep a Quilt is one of the best idea that I was thinking about that fabric with the "copyright" maybe the dots has a secret code you need to decipher, like the Morse code hehe

But still the fabric is beautiful

That is the oddest thing ... but I'd love to have the "copyright" to include in a selvedges project.
