Pressing question indeed.

I've just sewn my 9-patch squares together (and very impressed that my corners match too - who knew I could be that clever)
These are made up of alternating cream & green squares. (My pine tree quilt for those following on the picture forum)
All along, I've been pressing the seams towards the dark squares - which is why I was able to butt the seams and make them match on the 9-patches.
Now I'm waiting for the iron to heat up....just how do I press these ones open.
What I mean is that if I press the seams to the dark side of the outer two squares, it will follow through and there will be two dark seams showing through from the centre block onto the cream squares.

Should I, in this case press the seams open??


While I'm waiting for the iron to heat....what do you think????
