I have not started putting mine together yet, but want to be sure about that step. I love seeing all the blocks coming together - Joe's mom, your colors look great together.
The flying geese + red rectangles go in the “completer” border around all the blocks (but before the green skinny border).
More of the red rectangles attach to each of the grey string pieced units to form the sashing. The 9 patch blocks are the cornerstones. She mentions them somewhat later in the instructions:
“Laid out and ready to roll!
Lay out your main blocks with space in between to insert sashings and the nine-patch cornerstones from Part Five.”
Hope this helps.
