I think the confusion comes in where they do not give you cutting instructions for the center square WITH the cutting instructions for the rest of it. In the step you mentioned they tell you to cut the center square 6 1/2" - did you miss that by chance? It is the same fabric as in row 3 above but a different dimension.

Once you have that cut, then sew the smaller squares corner to corner just like you do the flying geese.

If I may make a suggesion: I get a bit anal about how the seams align, so I make sure to sew them in the same order every time. Since the seams overlap, they will overlap in the same orientation on every square.
Well said!
