It's really not and it's the only one that looks like a lattice with the small squares in it. The very important thing that is not even mentioned is which way to press the "turtle" legs (toward the rectangle after sewing the partial seam). That would make all the difference. They send me a copy of the patter and nowhere did it even describe or show how to set in that last rectangle! But I figured it out. Kinda do like it.

This is just a trial so I know there are crooked seams... Folding over (you can see the creases in the lower part) before insetting the last piece helps, too.

It DOES work!
