I am 66, and understand your feelings because I have had them too. Usually, I start cleaning, rearranging furniture, reorganizing closets etc. and adding flowers or a new plant. All of a sudden I feel excited about being in that space and enjoying the new surroundings.
Try rearranging your quilting area. Put a beautiful bowl or flowerpot on the floor to catch your scraps. Perhaps a colored glass dish to hold your scissors, pins and most used tools. All of sudden, you will want to sit in that space and do something. Maybe you will just want to sit and look at quilting magazines or books. If quilting is meant to be, you will do it again. If not, you will do something else.
