It seems to me that if Diane offers the pattern for sale, that is permission to reproduce it (otherwise, why sell the pattern?). And why would anyone buy a pattern if they didn't plan on reproducing the work (someday-lol)? It seems to me too that Diane is a little too full of herself and as someone has already said, the pattern is not an original that she thought up on her own, as it is a reproduction of ones made many many many sunrises and sunsets ago. I say GO FORTH AND QUILT, and enjoy doing it.
