Someone noticed that I do that, and asked me <i>why</i> I do that, and of course it is so that the block doesn't start coming unsewn during quilt top piecing and quilting.

But as you mention, this will keep seams from popping and all kinds of great things.

I have found that it's really important for individual blocks when sending them in the mail for inclusion in a group-made quilt. For those, I do want the blocks to give a bit if necessary, so I stitch just a few stitches over any of the seam joins along the edge instead of doing the whole edge.
