To answer you last comment first...NO you are not too old to quilt! I'm almost 72 & plan to be quilting for many, many years from now. I don't know if you are familiar with Bonnie Hunter but she makes wonderful scrap quilts & you might check out her site here:
http://www.quiltville.com/
She has a lot of free patterns & tons & tons of valuable information on her site.
Go for it & never stop doing what you love!
