One by one, I hope you're not describing me!
Bree123, I am way past 70 and relatively new to quilt, but I don't consider age a hindrance except the thought of starting a quilt with tiny pieces. My only advice would be to not work at for too long a period of time. Start with an hour and work your way up. Just think of it as writing your name without moving your hand - by moving the paper, LOL. Look where you're headed and have at it.
