62 and I have been sewing since I was 12. My daughter made her first doll quilt at 8 and she still has it. She is 30 now.

and what was the average?

63 but my son gave me a plaque that says if you haven't grown up by 60 you don't have to. Guess that makes me a kid.

My body thinks I'm 80 and my mind thinks I'm 30 but the calendar says I'm 56. For now, my mind still wins...

almost 57

Well, I'm 66 which will likely skew your results toward the "oldies". But I was 37 when I started, with a passion, so take that one instead!

I am 55 but have been quilting since I was in my early twenties. I look at it as art, not an old lady hobby. And a gift to those we quilt for. Give your hubby an old wool scratchy blanket to use and he will change his mind.

50, started quilting at 32!

51 and a newbie as well. LOVE me some quilting!!!
