Looks like the picture is the back of the piece, so no, your squares would look different depending on how they were ironed. Duh, just read the rest of the posts... Ignore the back, the front looks great. What you are trying to do with ironing the seams in different directions is to minimize bulk where 4 squares come together and/or ironing the fabric to the 'dark' so the seam doesn't show thru on the right side of the lighter fabric.
