Default Help! I need your expertise!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]610757[/ATTACH]
I just completed making many, many of these 9 components according to the directions of a pattern, only to find out the pressing directions are wrong! (Confirmed by others) The four squares are all sewn and pressed the same, as well as the four flying geese strips. The problem is the four squares (1,3,7,9) are each placed in a different direction. Now I need to sew the top three together, middle three, bottom three, and then sew all three rows together to complete the block. Because of the faulty pressing directions, the seams won't nest. if the square on the left of flying geese nests, the right side will not. this is also a problem top to bottom - if square above flying geese nests, the square below will not.
how would you correct this problem? press flying geese seams open, producing three layers of fabric in new seams?
snip seams in square and press them the correct way? another solution?
so many to fix, and appreciate your thoughts!
