If I just shuffle to the very bottom...I swear..there are repeats in fabric..
There is only one certain order..something like..after the first cut..move the first one to the bottom...after the second cut....move it three from bottom...etc...
Once you have eight fabrics in the block..finding the other three..that are not in that block..that will make the correct cut..is what is driving me crazy...
But thank-you to everyone...
Okay, I've been thinking about this. If you make a cut, shuffle and sew you're not going to shuffle 11 times because there aren't 11 cuts.

You have to cut it all at once. Use freezer paper to make a couple of copies of your pattern and stick it to the top piece of fabric in a couple of stacks. Make all the cuts. Then you pick a different piece of fabric from each section for each block. Several people in my guild did a similar quilt with hearts and that's how it was done.
