Default FPP help needed

Hi,

I'm doing my first ever FPP pattern (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5OF...JlYTlm/preview) and have run into a little difficulty, hoping someone can enlighten me!

In the main block pattern, the first 4 little squares are very confusing to me...I followed them round from 1-4, but when you get to the end, you can't join block 1 to block 4.

I ended up just folding the edge over and attaching number 5, which sort of pinned down the other side of it, so there is no stitching between block 1 and block 4...was this the right thing to do? When it's quilted, I imagine it will get sewed down, so can I do all the blocks this way? Or do I need to make a 4 patch before I start paper piecing? Is there some special trick that I'm supposed to know about?

I think I may have chosen quite a tricky one for my first attempt (but it still came out beautifully!)
