YES! Please *DO* photocopy our patterns and share them with your friends! Really!

Our patterns are free, free, free and you can copy them and share them with everyone you know! When you make quilts using our patterns, YES you can sell your quilts! YES you can exhibit your quilts! YES you can enter your quilts in contests. Please credit FourTwinSisters.com on the back if you make a quilt using our designs. Simple, huh? You can even modify the designs as necessary (enlarge, simplify, etc.) The only thing you CANNOT do with our patterns is put them on your website (unless you link to the pattern on free-quilt-patterns.net), or copy the patterns and try to sell or distribute them as your own.
