Painted Shoe Quilt Help Needed, please read
#11
1. Would you be more likely to buy a paper pattern with good instructions or 9 - 12" already printed blocks?
I'd want to have a paper pattern.
2. If you chose the paper, would you want it to be for painting or for applique?
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.

To add to my previous thoughts, no I wouldn't go out and purchase fabric with the shoes printed on it, that's too much like working on a preprinted panel for my liking.

Even applique patterns would do better in my opinion.
