It is my understanding that once you buy the pattern, it is yours to do with what you want. you bought that right, the designer is not losing any money, because most people who buy quilts do not quilt them selves. the designer is sailing the pattern, not the right to tell you what to do with the pattern. Unless that pattern is licened. On the other hand you can not open a factory with that design, a few quilts at fairs is not mass production. God bless. Penny
