Kind of joking, because I know I don't really need permission and I can do what I want,
. As part of my current project I have to pair up and sew together about 2000 1.5" squares. Normally I would press to the dark side but whenever I do this there is always that tiny ridge that gets in the way and when sewing to other pieces it skews my 1/4" seam by a few hairs. On a 5" block it may not be that noticeable but with blocks so tiny and so many of them it will be. I just feel it will be a neater look if the seams are pressed open. In the long run, would this really be a bad thing to do for the quilt? I know it's a no-no if stitching in the ditch, but I won't be doing that with this quilt.
