If you want to do true miniatures with lots of tiny pieces, they are usually sewn with 1/8 seam allowances.

Make sure you press your seams open .............. trust me that will help make the pieces lay flatter, not much bulk where seams will intersect.

If your quilt patterns include Foundation Paper Piecing invest in an "Add an Eighth" ruler. It is so much nicer for miniature work.
