I'm 74 too and although I'm retired I haven't got much quilting done the past few years as I've slowed down considerably due to arthritis. That hasn't stopped me from buying fabric, it's so colorful, it's fun match fabrics together for a project, I never have to worry if it's the right size or will fit - I just buy a couple extra yards, so I keep buying it. Also find my attention span is not very long so I try not to pick difficult or large quilts to work on, quick and easy seems to work for me now. So you are not alone, make yourself a cup of tea, go into your sewing room, pet some fabric for awhile and relax, you deserve it. May in Jersey
