    It's one of my pet peeves too - I'm my most critical quilt police when it comes to matching up seams and points in my quilts. One of my friends thins that I am obssesive with it but I like to think that I am just a meticulous sewer :)

    I'd like to see a picture also. Curious to see if it's the same issue I've dealt with. When one seam butts together and the other end doesn't I flip it so it butts, then take scissors and clip the middle so both ends lay flat. Is this what you're talking about? If you've seen Eleanor Burns do her method of making flying geese she clips in the center so one side lays one way and the other side lays the other way. That way both ends butt together nicely.

    quiltinchick I do that too. It's a trick left over from the clothes sewing days.

    I match seams the same -kinda- i baste those intersections. This is particularly useful in paper piecing
