if you are planning on using commercial patterns to make quilts to sell you need to send an email (or call or write a letter) to ask the designer's permission to sell the quilt-
if you make a quilt just using 'traditional blocks' like log cabin blocks-- you do not need to ask anyone's permission-
but pretty much any commercial pattern the designer or company who put out the pattern should be contacted and asked before any public selling.
