I've done plenty of 16 hst blocks and I've done them both ways, open seams and pushed to one side. I've even been known to do both in the same block if I couldn't get the seams to nest properly. Basically, do which ever works best for you and the looks of the block.

This block is for quilt addict, if you are reading this, what do you feel about open seams?
I have three more blocks that will be using this many hst's, my last three in this swap.
Okay, there are more than one question here, hope you can help me.
