I have a appreciation for the skill and dedication to beautifully hand quilted quilts, but by no means does that dismiss the skill and dedication to beautifully machine quilted quilts. Just as I admire/marvel at wood furniture that is all cut by hand ( no power tools) , and admire beautifully made wood furniture made by a skilled craftsman/artist using power tools. Each method of construction be it textiles or wood, has its own unique criteria for admiration.
