Your quilt looks great! As for pressing seams, in your quilt I wouldn't press until the entire row is sewn together and then press all the same direction. When you have the next row ready to add, put them together (like you would be pinning together) and see which direction you need to press them. When you gain confidence and skills, you will try a more difficult pattern that will have pressing directions given. Since I neglected to read all of the pattern tidbits, my first quilt had seams going every which way. From the backside it was a mess, but it looked pretty decent from the front and the recipient never knew the difference. That quilt was quite the learning experience and I made it completely before I found this board (I certainly wish I would of had some of the wisdom that comes from the members when making that first quilt).
