I think you are getting confused at the cutting point. You stack 11 different fabrics and cut them all out at the same time. Then you start moving the pieces as luvmy2bts described. Other wise you will not get the variations you are looking for.

The first piece (stack) is left alone...The second stack you take the first piece and move it to the bottom of the stack. The third stack, you take the top two pieces and move them to the bottom of the stack. Make sure that you do not disturb the order, just count out two and put them on the bottom of the stack... Keep going through the stacks adding on one more piece each time you count. This way you have rotated the fabrics so that each block will be a different combination. You then take the top pieces and make a block, the next layer is your next block...and so on.
