I am wanting to give this a try on a wall hanging and have a great video to watch on it..

NOW, I have a question though..do you press the seams open when you are done so it lies flatter, or press to one side???

I would press to the side.

Thanks..I love to press seams open and really thought that this is the ONLY way to get those shapely corners completely flat....

Press open according to my 'Quilt with Confidence' by Nancy Zieman.

I press them open as well. Then again, I press almost all my seams open.
