Those who would object don't really understand quilting. You can use any fabric you wish, as long as you make allowances for the needs of each type of fabric. I would use a little more seam allowance with linen, as it tends to fray more.

....Perhaps the rejection is not due to "not understanding" quilting, but rather a personal experience /choice reason.

Many have used it with success and are happy.
I highly recommend you read about other quilters experiences with it before proceeding, there are many tips about what to do and what NOT to do.
