What's 60 got to do with it, your still on the right side of the dirt. I think that's how it goes. I'm 60 and just started a few years ago. So enjoy it.

I feel hooked, but I have so far to go. I look at the beautiful quilts on here, and I know I will never get to that; I'm starting at age 60!

60 is good!. I didn't really start seriously until after I retired at 62 (4 years ago)

Briar Rose, You should plan on at least another 40 years of quilting. You're a natural! I especially love the rose quilting in the 3rd one. You have inspired me to try that.
