Most of the time I try to at least take a couple of stitches .

I took a class with Anita Grossman Solomon at Quilting By the Lake last summer. She has everyone press their seams open and believe me, if they aren't backstitched,, they will come apart. I would not bother for regular pressing of the seams to one side but if you want it really flat and press your seams open, then you really should backstitch.

no not usually

Usually, yes.

I used to, but, after reading that most don't back stitch when putting blocks together, I decided not to. I leave a long thread at beginning and end, when I sew into rows, I figure it would be held. I backstich on beginning and ends of rows

nope

I agree I strip piece and double cut on several patterns so no way to back stitch when doing a quilt many of your seams are stitched across with the next step so this ties them securely without trying to back stitch the rule for backstitching I think pretains to garment making where you have stress on seams.
