Good eye. I didn't notice. Lovely pattern and great job. I will follow this thread as I also have problems with lots of seams.

I also make an effort to determine which way to press the seams. I do think you get a much better match if they are going in opposite directions, but that's not always possible.
When pinning for sewing, if the seams are both going in the same direction, I flip one, match the seam, pin, then let the seam allowance go back to the way it was pressed. Don't know if my explanation makes sense, but it makes seam matching easier for me.

Im working on a kit that uses half sq triangles instead of flying geese then has you face two rows of points toward each other. You have six seams coming togather and it makes lumps. Love the kit design but this is a big flaw.
Ordered fabric in a different color to make another one but this time will make geese instead of their stupid method.
I have never had a problem by pressing to the dark till this pattern.
It is a row quilt that I got at Connecting threads.

If it is a very complex block, I will hand piece one to see which way is the best way to press it.

If the problem is just the way the seams lock do just what Judy363905 does. Just snip the seam allowance on one of the seams you want to lock together and press the end of it in the opposite direction. It should not interfere at all with the seam staying together. I do this all the time. I snip the seam almost to the sewn line on an angle about 2" away from where I want to sew the locking seam. Press it over and you are good to go.

I usually press to the darkest fabric. Love your quilt block, Kansas Troubles is one of my most favorite lines of fabric.

Nan, I just can not see where it is placed wrong, it looks like they are facing the same as all the other corners in a pattern. But I am familiar with this pattern.. Will be watching for more information

as you can see, the black outlined blocks have the beige parts aligned to the center. the pink outlined block has the beige parts aligned the opposite direction
