Bearisgray must be related to me. I do everything she does.

It depends. If I sandwich the quilt immediately after piecing, I will press the seams as I go. If the top spends a few months in a drawer I will give it a good pressing.

Haven't finished one yet. I'll let you know. I do press as I piece, though.

I always press--even queen or king--two or better yet, three,ironing boards help a lot!

I press almost more than I sew , just makes for fewer mistakes in the end results.

I do this too, I find it finishes of very nicely and easier to quilt.

Yes, I do this also....makes it so much easier to check for those stray threads and flatten the seams correctly which makes it so much easier to quilt your sandwich correctly.

Always iron (and I'm no fan of it).
