So if you have a four 6" finished blocks making up a 12" block, you do want to divide each piece by 2 and add the seam allowance.
That will give you four 3.5" blocks, which will make a finished 6" 4-patch block.
Your way would have four 1.5" blocks, with a finished block size of 3", which would be too small for what she wanted.
