That was a funny-to-me comment.
I came into quilting late in the overall scheme of things and I can no more imagine making a quilt by hand than I can making a skirt by hand. I could, I suppose, but I can't imagine it, unless something catastophic happened and I HAD to. Even then, I'd think that a machine made skirt would be stronger.
I guess I am really "new school" because I really don't care for hand-pieced and hand-quilted (anything) that much--except as a novelty item.
