Yes, you do miss a small hunk out of the corners but when you sew the blocks together it isn't really noticed. It is only seen at the outer corners of the quilt.

** Ali - how much seam allowance do you give yourself? **

Justlooking - Definitely not using a batting for mom's denim quilt. I think the denim alone will be plenty warm. I figured that, if she moved, or wanted it to be heavier, I could go back and add a backing to it and tie it together, just fringing the outside edges. I thought it would be really fun to sew some cute patches to the denim.
Do you all still sew the blocks edge-to-edge as you would in a "normal" quilt?
