I would also strongly suggest doing a couple samples on what IS COMFORTABLE for you to handle....
Again there are not any Quilt Police,......1/4" or 3/8" front or back....what ever works for you and this quilt...the next one could be totally different...
This is exactly what I do and I've never had trouble with it not being caught on the back. Of course now that I've said this I will next time.
I cut my strips 2 1/4 and sew with 1/4 in. seam.
