I am just finishing up a quilt where the sashing between the blocks were three pieces sewn together. I had a horrible time trying to get it to look right and lay flat. Ended up sewing those seams open....and bingo everything fell into place. If I know or think that I am going to iron a seam open I try to remember to sew it with a 'tight stitch' for strength......I feel as with just about everything in quilting it is what you want to do, and so often the pattern speaks to you or the fabric speaks.....or you just do what FEELS right at the time.....as we have all said a million times on this board there are no Quilt Police allowed in my house, so I am pretty sure I am not going to jail
