I'll try to help!!!
You're going to have two fabrics that fit together....one of the "blocks" or pieces will have the flying geese. When you put them to the sewing machine, make sure the flying geese is laying on the top. If you look at it, you'll see two seams that come to a point (that's the point of the star). You're going to sew down the new seam....and DO cross that point where those two seams of the flying geese met. If your seam is to the left, you'll lose the point -- if your seam is to the right, you'll have a gap. When you're finished, you should have 3 seams that meet exactly. If you don't see the two seams where they meet, then pull one of the seam allowances the other way --- you'll see it!!!
