Thank you for the honest replies.
An Odyssey quilt would definitely be one of the books I would like to use.
I do not believe I can patent this - but I could definitely build a brand around it and trademark the name.
The print size is a problem - but not in the sense of legibility. The manufactures I have spoken too have already informed me - printing on these materials - the fonts can only be so small -much larger than standard size 12 Microsoft Word text. The text has to be large enough to be printable, and withstand possible shrinking after washing. This of course limits the amount of content I can find on the cover as well.
It seems the business would have to cater to individual needs - thus customizable (to a certain degree). Therefore the quilts would be more expensive - but also of a higher quality. I believe quality is the way to go in this situation. People may be willing to pay more for a quilt that is unique to their selection.
The problem with this is finding the right manufacturing and what kind of selection I can offer for customization. Perhaps "Odyssey" could be offered in a selection of materials, templates, pictures/non pictures, text styles, text selection, etc...
Otherwise, trying to sell a single version quilt of a single book to everyone could be very difficult. Customization has it's own problems though.
I did not think to do a "kids version" up to this point either. Perhaps not a bad idea...
