Default One more thing I need help about doing?

I am hopefully seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in doing a most complex New York Beauty inspired quilt by Jacqueline DeJonge, I have expanded the 60 inch center with multiple borders to bring it to the edge of a king sized bed. It seems square, as it measures corner to corner within 1/6th of an inch and so I am about to do the drop sides ( hopefully correct term) and will miter the corners. The sides are all black as is the edges of the center, but with all that dark I want to break it up a bit. I have made 4 additional New York Beaty blocks that I want to inset into the corners for a visual accent and to bring the busy colorful center to the edge of the quilt. Do I finish the corners, then lay the block over the corners...chalk the edges...add a seam allowance, cut away the mitered corner and then sew in the colorful block or am I looking at this the wrong way an I need some help? If I am off base... can anyone advise me where to look for the solutions as I am more a visual learner?
