To your own self be true. I am 75 and have always lived by that rule. I quilt and do crafts to do what makes me happy and colors are my thing. I play with fabrics and love making quilts and clothing for children. I care not what others think of my quilts but they must like them as they have all gone home with friends and family and are well loved and used. So don't worry about what others think just do what makes you happy, you are not alone there are a lot of us out there.
