Jan - You are certainly not "bothering" any of us, as far as I'm concerned. I'm with you on being a novice at this type of setting. I turned to the tutes and videos also before I started putting the quilt together, and they were very helpful. We are so lucky to have all this instructional material available to us! We will just keep asking and will get all the answers we need!
You may be able to visualize the diagonal setting better if you set it up on your display board in a diagonal. It took a while for me to grasp the concept too. Set the first row of blocks with a corner side down rather than square side down. Set that row across with corner to corner. Check out the photos in the book, that will probably help. (Hope I did not confuse you further.)
