No, it is one piece - the foil faced poly batting is sewn to the microsuede. In total, the blanket is only about 3/16" thick. I might make thicker versions, I have an alternate design idea. 

After finishing sewing up the prototype (and sewing around the embedded magnets vexed her), my wife asked how much the Bus Depot ones were. When I told her she said "not enough". That response made me realize this was not a money making project :)
