I respectfully disagree. I made a king size quilt all hand appliqued hearts and hand pieced the blocks (hundreds of them). I had my friend machine stipple all over, leaving the hearts to pop out. I love it and am very happy with it.
That being said, it's your quilt and you should do what you want to do:-)
