Hmmm you said if you do the X does that mean i don't havr to do the x stitching, and i actually like to use warm and natural "that's the only thing i use" so if i cut it one inch less and when i sew the blocks do i need to sew the x and if not what is the seem should i use 1/4 or 1/2 which means i am not catching the batting with it???

When I use warm n natural batting, I make it 1 inch less than the other squares. When I use flannel, it's the same size. If you do the X, you do it through all the layers. Do a google search on rag quilts. There are lots of free info. That's how I learned.
