Very pretty. Just press don't draw your iron across it just lay it on the seam. I use some best press also.

When I have bulky seam points I trim a few out of the middle, this takes some of the bulk out, then open them up and press with a little steam.
By the way your block looks GREAT! Keep up the good work.

I agree with all of the above. I really just wanted to compliment you on your construction. Your points are great and your block looks square. Can't get much better than that. Keep up the good work!!

I love a good whacking!
