On this four patch, I like to have the seams going in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) so you can make that tiny pinwheel in the center so you avoid the bulk in the center. I agree with Tartan. I ONLY open my seams when there are so many points intersecting in the center.

One can also "twirl" the seams at the center of a LeMoyne star.
The only place I have a gap when I hand stitch a block is at the center of something like a LeMoyne star - and I have now learned to take a few stitches to close up the hole.
It is surprisingly hard to unsew one of my handsewn seams.
