Requires? No, if by 'good' you mean fancy, that's just one option. There are a great many gorgeous modern quilts with uncomplicated/modern directional quilting using straight lines to accentuate the uncomplicated/modern geometric nature of the pieced pattern. Some even have wavy lines instead of straight ones...on purpose! That's something any quilter can accomplish and have pride in the end result.
Some examples (and tips) from the Modern Quilt Guild.
