Summer in the Park

[anh03]

I am making summer in the park. There are no instructions or indications on how to press the seams.
I just pressed to the dark or where the color strips were but this made the seams rather bulky.
Maybe the instructions could have indicated on what to do with the seams.

Hi there. I just looked up that pattern. It looks like all the strip seams should be pressed in the same direction, so that when you sew your blocks together, the seams will automatically fall opposite, decreasing the bulk.

When I made the SITP pattern, I pressed all seams open to reduce bulk where the points meet.

Re: Summer in the Park

I did exactly as JCY did - pressed my seams open for this pattern. Worked very well.
