I have made GFG quilts using 2-1/2" hexies before, no problems, so I decided, let's challange ourself and do one with 1-1/2" (what was I thinking?). I have just started on it and have 4 flowers done. My question is, how in the world do you press all those seams to the side. Or do you press them clockwise or counter clockwise, which is what I do with the larger ones. Or do you just lay them out right sides up and let the seams fall where they may? I will be hand quilting this. Any and all help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Are you doing the EPP, hand sewing without the paper or machine sewing them? When I do the EPP I leave the seams open, when I did the hand sewing without the paper I can't remember what I did exactly, just let the fabric dictate the way it went. The instructions at the time were to have it go to the darker fabric, but can't remember if I did that. Check out Linda Franz website Inklingo she does a lot of the hand sewing without using paper templates.
