When a person buys the pattern, the purchaser can do anything they want with the item made from the pattern. If Diane doesn't want anyone to sell a quilt made from her pattern, she shouldn't sell the pattern then. If someone sued her for her rules that she wants the purchaser to follow, I have a feeling she would learn real fast what rights she does have and what rights she doesn't. An expensive lesson, but one that I think she would not forget.
Not only should she not sell the pattern, she should not post a photo or even a description of her quilt/pattern, because people often copy what they see. And how in this big wide world would she ever be able to know ifsomeone did that? There's often a general misunderstanding of the intellectual property law.
