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.

I wanted to sell my patterns of my designs, but the legalities/copyright issues confused the **** out of me. And I would need a LOT of help with the writing process because, well, I'm not the most expert quilter here---I've kind of winged the quilts/blocks I made (like not being particular about what grain the pieces are on or which way to press, etc) and I don't rotary cut (and most magazines have rotary cutting instructions). Actually, to be honest, I've never seen a packaged pattern for a quilt (the inside of one, anyways). I think I would need a team of quilters to get this to work correctly.

Your quilt design is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Wow

You are very talented. Have you thought about selling your patterns? You could have someone make up the dimensions for the blocks and the fabric amts and then you could make a quilt to see how it goes together, take a pic of it and you have a marketable pattern.
Don't forget to copywrite it.
