I'd want to have a paper pattern.

Applique. I'd do one for fusible or needle turn. I don't paint.
3. No matter which you chose, what would you expect the cost to be?
I'd say under $15. I charge under $7 for my patterns and in each pattern I offer at least 10 different images. I'd also say offer reverse images for the pattern pieces, especially if you want to offer them up for fusible applique too.

I LOVE your quilt! Since I paint a little, I'd prefer to paint the shoes (I'm a better painter than "appliquer!" I kinda like the 9" block with sashing. What would REALLY be special is the option to paint or applique, and maybe even the pre-printed option, although that might be a little too much like "cheater cloth". You could do a whole line out of this one quilt!

Gosh, I feel like I am trying to convince y'all to down the road purchase a panel of the nine shoes. People jump in to these discussions and a lot of time don't read it from the top. If they did they would understand that the printed panel would be in full color...not black and white to use as a pattern... I am just trying to accomodate all the requests from people who would like to make one like mine, but lack the confidence to paint each of the shoes...

[quote=thimblebug6000]To add to my previous thoughts, no I wouldn't go out and purchase fabric with the shoes printed on it, ---------------------------------------------------
I would. I would. I would love to have this lovely patterns already made up for me. Just let me know when.

I googled shoe application patterns and got a few sites with free patterns so you might want to do a little 'searching' to see the comparison.
I definitely don't have the talent to paint the shoes. However, if it were within my budget I might purchase pre-painted squares or 'prints'. Seems like someone mentioned on the board the other day that she has her paintings professionally printed on fabric. This might be something to look into. who knows, maybe you'll wind up designing a fabric line!
