I just made a sample piece and that's what I did, but I'm wondering if there's more of a science to it (LOL). I'm making my quilts with an assortment of fabrics for the top (raggy) side, a mixture of poly and cotton. For the back I'm using fleece squares, and I do have batting squares sandwiched in between as well.

Any info is helpful...thanks!
Pretty much. Just make sure they don't get caught up in the seam allowance. I usually cut the corners a bit so they don't look like 'blocks' in the final product.
