This question includes all 'free' patterns from magazinesl, that are or were originally copyrighted, but now available on the net. Would like some knowledable input on this. Thanks. I do strictly charity,& Quilts of Valor, using ideas from posted photos. Many are simple strip or string quilt ideas that anyone can look at and graph out. How strict are thses guidelines? Do we need to contact each designer personally? What are your feelings on this subject? :?:
