I cut my batting smaller than my squares. I do not want it in my seam allowance that I will be clipping. That would be too much bulk and I am not sure the batting would fray nicely, either.

I use 5" squares of fabric, 4" squares of warm and natural , make sandwiches by centering the batting on the bottom, then laying top material on then quilt something in the middle of the square, hearts butterfly, snail,or an x, not going into the seam allowances, then i sew them together the way you do with a rag quilt, it turns out really great.

I cut batting 2" smaller than the block.
I never sew it in the seams as they would just be to thick and I like the 1" raggy seam instead of 1/2" the batting has neve shifted and several of these are used as doggy quilts so they get washed often |

I cut my batting smaller than the seam and use the X to quilt the block. I have seen patterns where the batting is showing with the fringe but as someone else said, it would definitely be more balk to trim.

Inside the seam.
