This is TOO FUNNY! I did two quilts last summer. One I SITD and one I FMQ--(am just learning). THE SITD took probably twice as long but looked great. Here are the two. I think that people who say such stupid things just don't have a clue how long it takes to SITD and actually how hard it is. It is much harder than it looks at first glance!

In this case, same pattern, different fabrics and different quilting= different looks.
And my oldest son and his future wife just chose the blue one (SITD) one over about 10 other quilts as one they want to have in their home.
