Jeanie, your Grand Illusion turned out beautiful. As great as they are, some of Bonnie's patterns are way too "busy" for me.
My hand is getting better, not as much pain, and I can grip the cutter. I'm not entirely comfortable yet, so I'm holding off cutting. Exercising it daily and hope it will get better so I can get back to quilting! The most I seem able to do now is sewing together already-cut squares, making four-patches and such. At least it's something.
