Well, some people would have refused to get off their horse and ride in an automobile. I say, the more things change...the more they stay the same...for them. Its just the way they are. Fortunatly there are many more that like to try new things and those are the ones that propel us forward.
So here, here to all the innovative quilters that have given us so many, new and marvelous ways to make quilts! And they are as solid, and love filled as any of the hand made ones of the past! (stepping of my box now)

It also relaxes me.I have 2 fabrics with batting in the middle, and tied. I can't afford a machine or sending out.
It's my quilt. I like the results

I will try any thread, material, technique, anything new or old, and I will use or do it. I love trying new and different things and materials and threads, whatever. The only requirement is I must ENJOY it.

Quilting is such a beautiful and creative outlet for so many. It’s a way for quilters to give and express their love to their family friends and their community. There was a time women had to make quilts for their families to stay warm. I'm sure they would have loved today's advances in quiltmaking if they had a choice. To each their own I guess but a rose is a rose by any other name. :-D

I agree totally!!! I can't stand someone who criticizes the work and love someone puts into a quilt. Who cares if it is machine quilted, tied, or put together with glue for that matter, it is their project. It makes my blood boil to be so narrow minded.

if I didn't machine piece, the thing wouldn't stay together -- I hand quilt bigger things because I can't machine quilt well or easily -- machine quilting is hard and takes practice, patience, talent -- to each her/his own, according to her/his abilties -but us old dogs can learn new tricks -- lol

If they had sewing machines in the old days would they have kept on hand sewing?
Not a chance.

I'm with you. I like trying new things. I hope I live long enough to try every quilt pattern that I am interested in. I know it is not possible but I keep working through @ least 3-4 new techniques a year. Want to try fabric painting this year!!!
