It does to this female engineer ;-) I hate sewing clothes (learned from Mom more than 40 years ago on my grandmother's treadle machine), but stumbled into quilting a couple of years ago and love it.
BTW I did make a quilt with some "technical-themed" fabric. Rather than a quilt
pattern that looked "engineering-y", I chose to fussy-cut the fabric for the blocks. I did use a more modern pattern (something from Easy Quilts, probably a Tony Jacobson pattern) rather than "traditional" blocks. Both DH (mechanical engineer ) and I (chemical, materials, electrical engineer) gravitate towards that style. Neither of us like Bargello at all.
