No, you definitely are not too old to quilt. I am 79 and started quilting 4 years ago. I quilt every spare minute as there is so much I want to quilt. And I am having so much fun! I love using pre cuts because they save me time. Most of the patterns I use are for precuts. When I want to use yardage to make my own precuts, I use the slots of the June Taylor Shape Cut Pro to cut 10" or 5" squares or 2 1/2" jelly roll strips. I have the electric AccuQuilt Go Big; but, for me, there is less fabric waste with the Shape Cut Pro and I have used it so much that I am very fast with the cutting. I hope you will quilt and that you will enjoy it as much as I do.
