I've been doing this all the time, and never knew it was 'buffering'. I made some placemats using this technique, and before sewing the blocks together, I added in some folded triangles, so that I ended up with smaller 'cathedrals'. Sorry, I can only find one picture of my placemat, but you can just see half of the smaller cathdral at the top of the picture. The white fabric consists of 1.5 inch sqares, folded diagonally, and stitched across the corner of each block. When the blocks are joined together, they leave a little place to put in another fabric and stitch down, just like the larger one. Hope this makes sense
Note the smaller cathedral in the join of two blocks
