Aside from patterns and copyrights, you also have copyrights on the FABRIC as well.... collegiate, cartoons, etc
Some fabrics have it stated right on the selvage - no resale of anything made from the fabrics without a license agreement..

But you see things made from those fabrics all the time if you go to craft shows - down here it's the colleges - every other booth has SOMETHING from college fabric.

Some people seem to think its 'ok' if it's a non-profit organization - well, no it isn't. Other people just look at you like you're nuts if you mention it to them - like you are just being nasty.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I just like using TRADITIONAL (ie - public domain) patterns and new materials...
and I think if somebody wanted to buy one of my quilts (hasn't happened yet :D ) I'd be absolutely sure to use a public domain pattern AND safe materials...

better safe than sorry....
