I remember the comment someone made not long ago about hand pieced tops. They said the stitches were far enough apart you could put a toe trough them. That would not be heirloom in my book.
I have done and like to do both. I like the portability and the "successful" feeling of a hand pieced block (top), but I like the fact that I actually get something done to use or share when I piece and quilt on a machine.
