Evie, Sorry about your arthritis. What a drag. For me, it's my right shoulder and sometimes hurts like heck when I'm cutting.
This is the Bonnie Hunter mystery that used the diagonal piece. Thank goodness I only did a quarter size.
But you can see how the direction of the diagonal was crucial. I don't remember the name of the quilt but the colors she suggested were based on the colors in the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Did anyone else do this one. It is the only BH mystery I've done.
