I leave at least a little more than one inch of the back. Then I tuck any excess under the bat. I try to mark the back where I want the fold to be. Usually it is less than 1/2 inch, depending on type of batt. I made one like that last month and mitered the corners with a seam. I folded the corner of the back on the diagonal and sewed from the very corner of the quilt to the place where the back will be turned under. That's probably less than 1/2 inch. This needs to be well back-stitched. Then I trimmed out the excess fabric, turned it right side out and tucked the seam allowance under. Perfect corners with no bulk.
