It wouldn't be 4 layers; the blocks are sewed together in rows so I'm not sure how this would end up to 4 layers. Unless you are talking about the seams that get cliped; the seams will be 4 layers once sewed together; but the blocks will still be 2 layers of fabric.. Maybe thats where the 4 layers comes in at. Took me awhile to think of that; Its early and has already been a hectic morning here at work.

This is so frustrating. Maybe a visual will help. Here are 2 assembled blocks. Now we sew them together. Would this not be 4 layers of fabric?

but no batting in the seam area. it's cut the "finished" square size to fit inside the seams.

That is what I was trying to say. Guess I didn't know how to word it. Thanks Peggi
