Oy my gosh. I'm 56 and I don't feel i have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel yet! I learned to quilt in 2008 and my family is smaller. Still, each one has a quilt already and now i'm running out of people to sew for. I'm working on "fringe" friends and relatives now. You still have decades of life left. Plenty of time. Don't sweat it--just have fun.
