Stack them and cut vertically and horizontially. Then take one of the cuts and move it to the bottom of the stack, take another cut and move it to the middle of the stack. Keep doing this until you have a different color in each of your blocks.

This can work for a rag quilt. I sould draw out each pattern piece then add your seam allowance that are required when doing a rag quilt. I agree with

Then sew together all the cut you've made to form that block.

Then sew the blocks together.

I hope that makes sense..
