Well, except for one last seam and the top corners. Here's where I truly need help..the pressing part.
Here's the top:
And here's the back:
How do you press the seams so they look nice? Do I press them open or to one side? Or have the seams pressed opposite each other? I really have tried to press as I go but the seams don't lie flat.
I will NEVER do this quilt again. Having blocks finish at 1.5 inches isn't hard. It just takes FOREVER!

Do you know how to press a rosette intersection? It would mean a little more work but the seams would be very flat. Try this link and scroll way down to the part about pressing the seams. I hope this link works.

Congratulations....I knew you could finish it. My suggestion for pressing is press the seams open if you can...maybe use a little starch to help but test that out that starch on a scrap first. I think pressing the seams to one side would make the quilt look wobbly or bulky....I just sayin'.
Holy Cow... That's quite an accomplishment! Congratulations!
