You can make this into two layers also. (I will write this as if you will be bringing the back over the front, so if you want to bring the front over the back, change it accordingly.) First trim the front and batt to the correct size. Do not cut the back yet. Everything should be quilted or pinned or glued well at this point. Cut the Back about an inch and a half larger than the batt and top. Now fold that larger layer so that the fold ends up about 3/8ths of an inch from the edge of the smaller layer and batt. Tuck the extra fabric under the batt. That is your second layer. Now you have a folded edge. Fold that over and sew it down as you wish. At the corners, you will need to cut out a little of the bulk, but make the fold right out to the edge, make a 45 degree fold at the corner, then fold the next edge up to sew.
