Default Time to try new patterns

I always make modern type patterns that don't really have seams that match up. I decided to branch out and try some traditional patterns. I made this practice bear paw square today. I'm glad I was just playing because I learned a lot. I wondered why the seams on the right side don't lay flat but I realized I should have pressed the seams in the opposite direction. I also learned that half square triangle squares can be pressed out of shape if I'm not careful. Here is my first attempt.
