Correct me here; help me learn. What is the best order of construction and why? I am intrigued.

ETA I just looked at nativetexan's link. Thank you. That does help. Maybe you should ignore my post? LOL.
I'm on block number 2 by now, and so far I think my order works fine (guess it doesn't matter if you first piece 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 to then put the two resulting pieces together. I last added 5). I ended up using fusible interfacing as a foundation for 1 & 2 (mainly because I had that handy and didn't want to wait to organise something like muslin first...).
This is actually the first time I'm doing anything curved, and it turns out it's much easier than I thought!
