Default Mark 1/4" for hand piecing?

Hello y'all. I've just recently discovered the unbelievably wonderful Scrappy Quilt Show thread. I've gone through about 100 pages of it so far, and I'm very motivated to start using the 2" squares I've been accumulating for the past few months. I'd like to make it a hand-piecing carry-along project, but would appreciate advice from you Hand-Piecers on whether you mark the 1/4" allowance for your seams when sewing together those tiny pieces, and if you do what's a good carry-along method for doing it? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I just want to add that I think this board is so terrific. I'm a fairly new quilter but I've started to bring lots of new ideas that I've learned here to my quilting group at home. (e.g., just did the board sandwiching method, and ready to try Elmer's)
