Your wiring sound like it's all improper, but given what you describe:
connect the single conductors to the common terminals of each 3way switch,
connect the two wires left to the travelers at each three way switch.
Connect two wires from one sheath at the 4 way location to the input
terminals of the 4 way switch, and the other two wires to the output
terminals
