Yes, that is what she means. I press my seams open and line them up by putting a pin through the tips of the points, before I pin the rest of the seam. It's much easier to see where those points are, so that I don't sew over them. You also get a much flatter join where all of those tips come together.
I really like this pattern and I want to make another, much larger one at some point, only with the corner pieces sewn on in some of the different ways that she mentions.
I have a few yards of fabric that has what looks like newspaper clippings all over it and I'd like to use that for the background, with scrappy black and white fabrics for the colored blocks.
