I really don't think there are any "only"s or "must do"s--just enjoy what you do and do it with love.

Goodness janRN - DON'T feel "blue" about where/what kinds of supplies you buy - perhaps some are forgetting where quilting began - USING SCRAPS FROM OLD CLOTHES!!!
And the title of this is RIGHT ON - TO EACH HIS/HER OWN!! Personally I machine piece & still try to hand quilt as my ole hands allow, buy bargain materials (on a fixed SM budget) --- BUT ANY quilt is a treasure - someone put their heart into it, sometimes for someone special.
IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY - don't worry about what others think!!!
HAPPY QUILTING & may all your quilts be filled w/LOVE!!!! :lol:
