I think pieced quilts came after the invention of scissors. Whole cloth quilts may be older than scissors though. Scissors are about 3 to 4000 years old.
I use the rotary cutter for cutting quilts. It's much more accurate to cut with a rotary cutter. When you cut with scissors the material being cut will gradually creep away from the blade towards the end of the cut.
