Swirling seam allowances to reduce bulk
This tutorial does a great job of explaining how to swirl the seams to reduce bulk. It can also be done very sucessfully with pinwheel blocks. I believe I first saw this on Alex Anderson with Billie Lauder.

This is one of the reasons I press my seams open. I'm too scatter-brained to remember which seam to press which way. But I have seen Eleanor Burns do this & it seems to make sense if you press to one side.

Once you've done it a few times it becomes second nature.
