Construct a geometric gure in a sequence of steps. In step $1$, begin with a $4\times 4$ square. In step $2$, attach a $1\times 1$ square onto the each side of the original square so that the new squares are on the outside of the original square, have a side along the side of the original square, and the midpoints of the sides of the original square and the attached square coincide. In step $3$, attach a $\frac14\times \frac14$ square onto the centers of each of the $3$ exposed sides of each of the $4$ squares attached in step $2$. For each positive integer $n$, in step $n + 1$, attach squares whose sides are $\frac14$ as long as the sides of the squares attached in step n placing them at the centers of the $3$ exposed sides of the squares attached in step $n$. The diagram shows the gure after step $4$.
If this is continued for all positive integers $n$, the area covered by all the squares attached in all the steps is $\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p + q$.
