Absolutely not! Also what gets me about when people say their quilts are not 'heirloom' quilts. YES they are!! I have a newly made friend who just made her very first quilt for her daughter, a beautiful strip quilt, stunning! And it is a heirloom it is her very first one, made just for her daughter, and her daughter will love the quilt and bet you dollars to donuts passes it down to her kids or grandkids. I know my kids love my quilts and plan on passing them down to their kids, to me that is a heirloom quilt. Any quilt that is loved and cherished is an heirloom. Now, don't get me wrong I love the quilts people spend a ton of time on to make just right and hang them on the walls, I truly enjoy looking at them, but just is my humble opinion that to call those heirloom and other quilts are second class is not right. Ok stepping off my soapbox.
