OK - I've decided to do a D9P out of charms, I've played around for with fabric placement and am now ready to sew.

But first, a few questions....

Do I have to make sure each charm is "squared up" or do I just trust the fabric store I bought from???

Secondly, do I press each charm before sewing???

Lastly, (for now anyways) after I sew the 9 patches together, do I press the seams??? How? - to one side or open???
Or - should I wait to press the seams until I cut apart???

Thanks for answering my "silly" questions!
(You know, it occured to me - when I first made quilts back in my 20's, I flew by the seat of my pants and just jumped in doing what I thought would be right. Now that I am older *much* I want to play by the rules & get it right
:) )
