The whole key here is that Yes there are some rules and some misunderstandings of those rules, but in all reality we are for the most part private persons who make quilts.
No one is going to come and snatch us off to the pokey.
I live in East Texas and I seriously doubt that Desireé Designer from Minnesota is going to know whether I made and sold 2 quilts from her design.
I don't sell anything, but the point is still the same.
Reminds me of the thing about meteors hitting the earth. Could. Am I worried? Nah.
