If you use the calculator in this thread it figures the overhang in with the calculation.
I almost always use this method for any quilt back that would have to be pieced- the diagonal seam distributes the bulk of the seam better when the quilt is rolled for the quilting process. Some of the other piecing way links on this thread do not do this.
