Default Ironing Seams - is this how it is supposed to look?

I'm making a basic quilt with patchwork squares and from my understanding, you alternate the direction you iron your seams by row. (So, row A to the left, row B to the right etc.). Instead of sewing one whole row together at a time, though, I've been sewing the whole row into groups of two, then doing the same for the next row, and sewing those two together to make blocks of 4. I'm not sure if I accidentally ironed some seams the wrong way or if this is what it is supposed to look like.



Line A is where I initially sewed two blocks together and then line B is where I joined the two 4-block sets. Should that yellow and red square really be smaller? I tried to google some reference pictures, but people don't seem to post a whole lot of pictures of just the back of their quilt tops For some reason I have it in my head that it should all come out to the same size...
