I agree! Before I started quilting a few years ago, I made clothes, and baby clothes and toys, etc.
Nobody in my family "dissed" anything bc I made it on a sewing machine instead of sewing a whole garment with a needle and thread!
I consider my machine pieced blocks hand made, just not hand sewn.
I have several chronic health disorders and could never make a large quilt all with a needle. They are still treasures to me :-D
