My understanding is that if you own a pattern, you have the right to make quilts from that pattern, and since you own those quilts you can sell them. (This wouldn't extend to mass production.) But I would be interested in hearing if someone has information to the contrary. I know that when my guild wanted to make a raffle quilt from a pattern in a magazine they asked for permission first (which may not have been necessary, but it was nice anyway).
I think that is it necessary to get permission (from the owner of the copyright) to use a copyrighted pattern for a raffle/opportunity quilt.
