I have been using both methods depending on how many pieces of fabric meet at an intersection. Open for lots of material and to the "dark" side on other squares. I really, really tried to press to the side but the 8 pieces of fabric at one point made me change my ways when it comes to those seams. Open press those and all others to the side.

I find that it's easier for me to match seams/points when pressing open. Peckish added: How funny! I'm exactly the opposite! :D I'm like Peckish, it is easier for me to match seams when pressed to the side. I let the design of the block/quilt be the determining factor. In some patterns I even don't follow the pattern directions because the designer just hadn't thought it through from my point of view, but rather out of habit. |

I never press open unless there are multiple layers of fabric all meeting at the same spot. And, it varies whether I press to the light or dark. That choice is made such that when I butt the seams - the bulk of the seam allowances go in opposite directions.
