Goddess, you should consider selling your patterns and not just give them away! Your work, going back to the Tsunami quilt and beyond, is fresh and contemporary, yet appeals to traditional quilters as demonstrated here. You have a good eye and I know you have other artistic outlets as well.
I'm sure you could find pattern testers to make up the quilts you design and you would never actually have to make them (i.e., buy the fabric and do the sewing) yourself. You could probably even partner with someone, another designer perhaps, to help with the writing process (the math, the wording, the proof-reading, any stuff like that you might need). I think you are doing yourself an injustice by giving your work away like this. Just my opinion mind you.
