Just gorgeous - the quilt. The numbers don't sound accurate to me.

Wonder where they got their information. Our big quilt group at church has all members way beyond those ages and none nearly that young.

I guess I started early! I was 19 when I finished my first queen size quilt. I'm 21 now, and about 10 quilts later, I'm still going strong. =]

Not in my area either, I guess that just leaves all of us who are much older completely out huh? lol. I wonder if the survery that was taken either forgot to add us because the ones doing the survey thought we were just too old to matter or able to do anything anymore. lol.

You say you are 68, I am 78, and my husband is 86. How do we fit in? I've been quilting since 1989.
