Since there are 4 seams all coming together at the central point, if you try pressing the seams to one side, and only over the darker fabric, you will get 2 enormous lumps and 2 enormous hollows. So at some point you are going to have to spread the load and have some of the seam allowance pressed onto the paler fabric. For this you could either 'twirl' your seams (all going the same way around - Annis did this with her 9 patches), or press them open, the same as we did for the pin wheels.
I would suggest that you try one of each and see which you prefer before continuing.

Originally posted by idahoRenata.. in the PDF under Sewing: She indicates to press the tri. pair seams to the dark. Then in
step 2..press joining seams open. It would follow in this project to have the 4 quarter sq blks joined
and pressed open, too. That's my take !

Marilyn, we both read the instructions the same way. I just did not know how to press when putting the four final blocks together because Laura said nothing about it neither in the pdf nor in the video. What you say makes sense. I've just never seen that many seams pressed open in a block before... but what do I know? Thanks!!!
Rosemary, I agree with you that you can't press the seams all to the dark side or you will have a heck of a time going over humps with the stitching. There's got to be some methodical approach to ensuring you can nestle seams though. Do you press half of your half-square triangles to the dark and the other half to the light, putting a pressed to the left piece against a pressed to the right, and twirl in the middle? I'm just looking for a method I can remember and that makes sense so I can do this again in the future. This is starting to feel like a square dancing dosey do... :lol: :roll: :lol:

I've found that just when I think I've "got it" I don't !! There are so many ways to do these things...
and most of the time it is so forgiving that you can do it what ever way feels best to achieve the
quality you want. Much of the time seams are pressed to one side or other to get a smooth transition
without reguard to color...tho ,to the dark is preferable ...or pressed open which is less common . Sometimes
that is inconvenient, too. :roll:

I won't be following the instructions for these, but I like to press all of the seams counterclockwise on the front (clockwise on the back). That's just my preferred method. Use the method that works best for you. When sewing 2 triangles together they should all be pressed the same direction. When sewing pairs together you have the option of pressing the full seam to one side, press the seam open, or twirl the seam. When sewing the 4 blocks together either twirl the seams or press them open.

Personally I like pressing my seams open, but that stems from my dressmaking/tailoring background, unless it is a hand stitched seam, which I don't think holds the fabrics as close together as a machined seam.
