    Carrie, you've done an amazing job with matching seams on your first quilt. I would go for flatter. The quilting will be much easier for for yourself or a long armer.

    A tip: Your mismatched seam on the pink center will probably not be noticeable after the quilt is washed and dried, especially since the color is all the same. Seams that aren't aligned in the center show up more when the triangles are different colors. There's an easy fix to that block if it bothers you. Find where your seam joins and pick out just the middle stitches (about an inch or two). Leave all the other seams alone. Move the seam over to where it belongs and pin on each side of where it should join. Then use a long stitch just inside the seam allowance to rejoin and check it. The fabric will usually ease in nicely if pinned. If it lines up nicely, then go back and use the regular stitch length to secure.
