Carrying your critics' comments to an absurd length - maybe those of us who use a sewing machine to piece, instead of doing it all by hand, are "less than" too. Just disregard any such talk. We are all quilters, as MadQuilter said, and however we do it, it's just fine. I think all-over pantos are lovely. When I want a quilt to be special, I send it out to be quilted by panto. Hold your head up high. You are "more than" most, especially those who are criticizing you.
