You're not too old to quilt....I'll be 73 in a month and still live by myself, take care of myself, and quilt my head off. I have a long arm, and 18 machines that mostly all work (after I worked on them!); two poodle pups who think they are the boss of me, 5 kids, 14 grands, 5 great grands and 2 more on the way, and one great-great grand! I also still drive myself anywhere I want to go and do pretty much what I want to. oh....I'm also awaiting a heart valve replacement surgery in a couple more weeks. After that, I'll be hard to hold down!! So yes!!!!! Quilt to your heart's content! Your health will tell you when you can't! (I HAVE to continue to quilt....I have a stash that's unbelievable and no one who's interested in learning how to use all of it!)
