If you are planning on selling a quilt, copying a pattern or showing it in a fair or show, contact the owner/publisher/designer/creator and get permission. Basically that's it in a nutshell.

This was a very good discution that we had and it did clear up a lot things when it comes to using patterns and the copy right. I am sure that it helped a lot of the board members and other people who come on the board.

I am so sick of reading about copy right infringement. I have read the whole US Copy Right law in the last few days. It seems since the beginning of the world there have been copy right infringement. God gave us the ability to use whatever talents he gave to us. That was from the beginning of time and even when Noah built the Arc. We use circles, squares, triangles, flower cut outs, plaids, solid colors, fabric of flowers, etc. You name it, it is our God given talent and the talent of those who designed these elements. If I could design a car, I had the talent, I don't but somebody did. Just think about that and don't worry about what we do for quilting and giving and using designs. If we were major manufacturers, we probably would need to worry. Think about that also. We are just a bunch of ladies enjoying ourselves and many are using it to supplement their income.

where they will say something to the effect: "we didn't mean public domain blocks, just the designs made using them" ...
It all makes no sense, and the sooner everybody figures out that it makes no sense the better off they will be.

I think they have had so many people contact them that they are doing another article.

I also subscribe to a few magazines, and have made quilts from the patterns that they showcase (with exact instructions, I might add). I understand if I buy a pattern at a shop or show that I should not make copies to give to anyone. But, what would happen if someone else bought the pattern and fabric, gave both to me, and paid me to make the quilt? Is that copyright infringement because I "sold" the quilt I made from the pattern he/she bought?
Does anyone have experience being paid to make a quilt from a purchased or magazine pattern?
I'm confused as to the message the magazines are sending to us.
