Three of my DGK started sewing on the machine early. the youngest was 4 and she sat on my lap at my old singer machine. She made her first quilt at 5.
We also have a group here that meets over the summer called a Buddy retreat. You bring kids to lean to quilt.
If you start him now and teach him the safty tips he can quilt with you. My oldest GK is 13 and he will still quilt with me.
