I read that if you do it correctly, it strenghthens your quilt and since I had to 'skinny' up some of my seam allowances, it needs all the strength I can give it. It's going on a five year olds bed and probably will see the inside of a washing machine a lot! :D
You quilt on the left side of that seam (the "no seam allowance" side), right next to where the piece on the right folds under.
If you had to "skinny up" some seams, you may also want to consider some quilting through the pieces and not just the seams. The more quilting - the stronger the quilt.
