I absolutely agree with Tartan. By doing that and measuring the results, you can determine what is true in keeping the blocks the same and what is not. I will skip some steps if I am not that interested in accurate results. Not all corners have to match, or be perfect. After washing a quilt, a lot of 'not-so-perfect' squares look just fine.
It is all up to you and how you want to enjoy quilting and not worrying that the quilt police is watching your every move. If you want to save time and quilt faster, that is up to you. The whole key in enjoying your quilting is that you enjoy what you do.
