Yes! EVEN if the author/pattern package says is not allowed. No one has the right to determine what will happen to a product made from a legally acquired pattern. That concept was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, and is referred to as The First-Sale Doctrine.
Thanks Connie - I have been wondering about this very issue - on the title page of the One Block Wonder book, it says quilts made using that technique may only be sold for charity, not personal profit. I'm not yet thinking of selling any but may consider it someday. So any quilts I make using the Maxine Rosenthal technique are mine to do with as I will? Obviously I have bought and paid for the book! :-D
