My brother in law recently told me he didn't think it was a quilt unless it was "hand quilted" - I told him I hated to inform him but he was no longer on my list of folks to receive a quilt from me!!

Some folks just get set in their ways and refuse to change or try something new.[/quote]
CJ,
I think those folks grow older faster than those of us who embrace change/new things. We force ourselves to expand and keep our brains active, which is a very thing.

I took a couple of classes from a wonderful local teacher who told me that,
"it's your quilt you can't make a mistake.". So, just do what YOU want to do...you are in charge!

I really don't think there are any "only"s or "must do"s--just enjoy what you do and do it with love.

Goodness janRN - DON'T feel "blue" about where/what kinds of supplies you buy - perhaps some are forgetting where quilting began - USING SCRAPS FROM OLD CLOTHES!!!
And the title of this is RIGHT ON - TO EACH HIS/HER OWN!! Personally I machine piece & still try to hand quilt as my ole hands allow, buy bargain materials (on a fixed SM budget) --- BUT ANY quilt is a treasure - someone put their heart into it, sometimes for someone special.
IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY - don't worry about what others think!!!
HAPPY QUILTING & may all your quilts be filled w/LOVE!!!! :lol:
