I started quilting when I was 21, now almost 5 1/2 years ago. I always wanted to quilt, ever since I was young. I was lucky to get a beginner's quilting class for my 21st birthday (okay, I might have begged for it...and probably got it to get me to shut up about it
). In that class, I was probably the youngest one, although there was one other woman who was only a year or two older than me. The rest of the women could be about equally divided into the age groups 30-50 and 50-70. So, quilting is discovered still by a wide range of ages still and I think that it will always be around. But, popularity (is it "in") will fluctuate.
