Has This Happened To You?

Hello!  Hope everyone is having a good Monday. I just had to show you something. Not too long ago (well maybe 6 months), I designed a little house block. I was going to make a quilt and draw up the pattern myself. 
 It's really not a big deal but someone just came out with the news that blocks exactly like this will be available in a pattern in a few months. It's not that big a deal but it's just weird. I mean, the patterns are identical! Guess great minds think alike! Well, that's all the news I have. Nothing has happened since yesterday (thank Goodness)! I'm getting ready to clean the kitchen. I know, I know, you covet my exciting life. I just had to show you this coincidence block. Oh well, live and learn! XO from Bev

I love your block! I've heard of that happening to other people too!

I play with my graph paper a lot. I drew up a design that I was really excited about. Two days later I saw the exact design that someone had drawn up months before. I like your block. The sidewalk at an angle just draws you up to the front door. :-)

Wow...I just saw it advertised too! Waaay too much of a coincidence! I would not be happy! I Enjoy your posts and admire your attitude!

I can tell you I have had an idea in my head and a couple of days later I see it here or there. If the block you saw is in a publication (book, magazine or whatever) you can be pretty sure it was done a while ago, those things don't happen too fast.
I could see how it would feel a little disappointing though.....

Go withe the "Great Minds" angle. I think it's happened to all of us. BTW, I love your block.
