I was in such a hurry to get my previous post done before I left to get my hair cut that I forgot to answer the question that came up in the comments yesterday. I press the seams open rather than to one side in any piece that has LOTS of close together seams. This way it just feels like one flat piece of fabric instead a piece with a lot of lumps.
It also makes it easier to quilt through. Otherwise in my piecing I press my seams to one side when there is a lot of space between seams.
