I'm confused. I've made many of these. I have two squares that are the same size, one for the top and one for the bottom and then a layer of batting that goes in between the two layers which is cut about 1in smaller that the other two squares. I sandwhich all three together and sew an X in the middle to hold them all together. Then each gets sewed together. You don't have 4 fabrics you only have 2 plus one batting unless you are using flannel in place of the batting then it's 3 layers of fabric and no batting. I'm not getting where you say 4. Another thing you can do instead of making the x in the middle is put a design there; which would be great for Christmas or a kids
