Hi Amy- I find if you flatten out the larger block (I usually beat the cold pound brick to about 1 in with a rolling pin to start) and then beat the smaller remnant into the center of the big block as you get to your final thickness (instead of placing it on the side), that you should be able to avoid seaming issues. I usually smear my trimmings from squaring off my butter blocks into the center of the book too so they aren't wasted. I hope that helps! Happy Baking! Jocelyn@KAF
