Quilters usually add a little of themselves to a pattern and the pattern is changed. Reproduction fabric has already been copied by the maker. If I purchase fabric I can make anything I want with it. Why worry about fabric? My thoughts, Joan N.

I know %'s are different from area to area. I think the home owner is doing the quilting groups a huge favor...free advertisement, etc. and if the commission is reasonable, they ought to jump on it. We're always looking for a way to make our 'hobby' profitable. I would think that any pattern/fabric that is presented to the public domain is okay to sell..as long as YOU don't take credit for it as an original. On a personal note: We are in the process of trying to purchase an old home in complete disrepair and restore it...what a great idea to make a few dollars. 50% Sounds prohibitive, to be sure!
