When you make doll quilts do you still use 1/4" SA?
I am working on a doll quilt and I have my blocks cut
to be finished at 3" and it seems strange to me that my
SA looks so "big" compared to the size of the block.

I've only made a few mini's (mostly for practice) and for me the pieces were also "mini" (1/4" pieces). I sewed with 1/4" seam then trimmed the seam down to 1/8". I suppose that if I were making one with larger pieces I would leave the seams 1/4". The only reason I trim mine down is to reduce bulk.

If a child is going to use the quilt for their dolls, and it will be washed often I suggest using 1/4" seams. If it is a wall hanging that won't get washed or very often, 1/8" shouldn't be a problem
