Just wondering if anyone has ever created a quilt pattern and ever marketed it? Was wondering how one would go about doing that? Thanks in advance for any info....

I am selling my avatar pattern here on the board. You have to follow the rules for posting in Classifieds to do that, including that mine is at 60% of the retail price. After a while of offering it exclusively here to members at this price, I'll see if I can get some LQS interested and also sell it via my website at it's full price. :-D

Here are the rules for Classifieds http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-651-1.htm

And here's my pattern for sale http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-132474-1.htm
