Gah - help?

[snapmuffins.livejournal.com]

So I posted a couple days ago asking if anybody could help me out with figuring out some sewing terms - and now I have another puzzle with the same project D:



These are the three pieces I have. Now you're supposed to sew these three pieces together with the 'o's (the dots/circles) matching up and the 'x's matching up (along the bottoms of the pieces - it's kind of hard to tell). There's a link to the pattern off this page.

Now I thought I had this figured out when I looked at the pattern and instructions a week ago. It could be excessive sun exposure or just sleepiness - but I can't figure it out now.

The circles and x' are right where they should be on those pieces, so I know it's not that. Maybe I'm just not thinking outside the box enough right now.

If anybody could help me figure out how I'm supposed to piece this together - I'd really appreciate it!
