I also think you did the right thing, and long may we find people who keep their word. And while she may have gotten a fantastic pattern free with no thank you, we can only hope that karmic justice hits her where it hurts, in the final product.
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't show up at the next show bitching about how the pattern didn't live up to it's name!!! And don't you just wish she would!!

I respect you for honoring your commitment. We need more of that in today's world.

Since you didn't even get a thanks, that alone should be answer enough. Be happy that your creation will do wonders for a school in need and don't give it another thought.

You showed integrity and kept your promise.....good for you! You did the right thing. That customer has a serious lack of manners in not thanking you for your hard work and pattern you sent her and she should have well understood that you had already made a commitment with that quilt top. and by the way, the quilt is gorgeous. Great job.

I think you did the right thing. You made promises you kept, plus you helped out someone who was really interested in what you did. Which you should be really proud of! As far as she promising not to make a profit off your design, people will do what they will-you didn't get a thank you-speaks volumes as to what she might do with it. Perhaps she wasn't happy you didn't do what she wanted you to do right then and there. Tuff-school benefited and that was the plan so all is well. Beautiful pattern!

Glad you like it :D! That's what my business partner keeps telling me, but I'm still finding my quilting direction and right now I don't want to get bogged down to any one style. My favorite thing to do is take the scraps from a planned quilt and just using those and maybe something from stash creating a lap or couch size. I just start putting things together and seeing where it goes, like this one. If I were actually to publish then I'd have to get into figuring out exact cutting sizes and directions and that isn't where I'm at right now.

Now if someone from AQS or something stopped by my booth at the next show and said "gotta have it for our next edition" then I'd seriously consider it. But for this pattern, I'd have to do a lot of resizing. Some of the sashing is something like 1 13/16 and peculiar numbers like that because I added it to a triangle and then cut it to fit the space.

I think you went beyond "the right thing." Because you made her the pattern so either she could make it or hire someone to make it for her. Inafterthought I think the right thing would be to charge her for the pattern as much as the most expensive published patterns cost, and then also try to sell other copies of it.
