I started quilting a few years ago I am 27 now. I am always the youngest in everything quilting related around me. So far I have not found it to be a problem. Everyone excepts me for what I am lol.
I am the leader and coordinator for our church quilt club that I started. I think next youngest to me is in her 40's. I normally end up giving the demos on show and tell night. Not because I know everything and most of the ladies have been quilting longer then me but I am a computer junky and I find all the newest tips and tricks lol
With all that said. I quilt how I want with no quilt police or instructions and I dont think I will be making any master pieces any time soon lol and that is just find by me lol :D
Keep doing what you love. The only opinion that matters is yours. Is the quilt up to your standards no one else
