I have never made a Queen Ann leg and was watching Philip Lowe ‘s vidio for some guidance. It appeared to me that he puts a transition block only on the front of the leg. Perhaps the vidio showed detail for only one side and assumed the viewer would also put a block on the other side of the leg.
I look forward to your comments.

Red,
Typically, knee blocks are applied to both the "front" and "side" of the legs. You may find some old work where they were omitted from the back side of a piece like a dressing table or a highboy, which normally sits against a wall. Nowadays, folks usually put them all around as it looks better to our modern sensibilities.
Be aware that there are two ways of applying the knee blocks, either a thin block applied to the face of the apron and to the leg, or a thicker block that is applied to the underside of the apron . Different pieces will require one or the other means of attachment.
