Your quilt is gorgeous!
When you stitch in the ditch, it works best if you can sew on the fabric that is on the bottom. This way the top fabric hides the stitches better. It isn't always possible, especially when you press the rows opposite.
If you press the seams open and stich in the ditch, you will weaken your seams and risk them splitting.
