We will now join the third block. You first start with making the first part of the border (in the picture at the right in yellow), and you make the first 2 chains for the corner.

Finish this corner by making the next 2 chains, and because the pattern is symmetrical, we will make a dc at the front of the third piece.

You now have 2 options to make the corner join. I have chosen here the corner of the second piece. You can also choose for the corner of the first piece. I show this in the video. It is a personal preference where you want to do it. Experiment and see what has your preference, also in combination with the third join. Also look at the result at the back.
