I recently took my son to a quilt shop with me (he's 38). I had given him a scrap quilt for his trailer and we discussed the pattern/piecing just before this. He was immediately able to dissect the blocks/pattern and quite quickly picked up the idea of allowing for seam allowances etc. He does have a background in woodworking/construction, so I wasn't surprised when he picked up on it so quickly but I was surprised at his interest in the process.
