Welcome to the board from Texas. I always press mine open.

Welcome! Beware looking at all the quilts, it makes you have an ever growing list of quilts you want to make. LOL

can we assume you cut the selvedge off?

as the others have said - lots of different answers. I cut the selvages off (safe those for your friends or yourself doing selvage quilts or crocheting into rugs)larger seam and press open, depending on batting - polyesters tend to beard out the opening so press to the side.

Welcome! I'm apparently in the minority here. I usually use 1/4 seams and press open. Just me. Remember - there are no quilt police and it's your quilt.

Thanks for all the help on backing seams. I need all the tips I can get because I am self taught as far as quilting and just love all the good ideas you ladies have Sally Taormina
