I generally press to the side, I like to nest seams and can avoid a lot of pinning that way, and I get joy out of spinning seams. However if something won't go flat I'll press open.

I can't comment on the shrinkage because I prewashed before using it. It is a thick weave, so takes up a bit more in the seam if you are looking for precision piecing (I wasn't, it was background on...

I use a home made quilt for spring, summer and fall but it isn't warm enough for winter. We have a wool comforter which is quite toasty, and I did make the duvet cover for it!

If you are a beginner at curves, the larger one will be easier to create smooth curves.

Baby quilt with drunkards path animals

Just delivered this one to the new parents who are very outdoorsy and love hiking. I made blocks of drunkards path animals and arranged them, then added button eyes that were sewn on extra tight.

I don't like the acrylic templates, they tend to be undersized for me to hold easily.

I tape a paper card stock 3/8" from the edge of a square ruler to make a cutting guide instead.

Scrappy cats and kittens

I've been looking back at some recent finishes and realized I never posted this one. I was inspired by patterns in Janet Kime's book The Cat's Meow but made them improv and scrappy.
