Cut 9 squares of fabric, 14 inches. Make a stack. Make 4 cuts through all the layers, 2 vertical, 2 horizontal, sort of like a tic tac toe grid. Don't make the lines parallel, make them slanted, in different directions. Leave the stacks the way you cut them.

Now shuffle the fabrics.
Take the first fabric from stack 2 and put it on the bottom.
Take the top 2 fabrics from stack 3 and put them on the bottom.
Take the top 3 fabrics from stack 4 and put them on the bottom.
Take... well you get the picture.
Now sew the squares together using a 1/4" seam. Trim them all down to 12.5".
Depending on the size of the quilt you want, you will need to make several of these stacks. You can make a pattern of the lines and cut them all the same, or cut each stack a bit different.
Although this results in squares, when you sew the squares together, match the colors on edges to the ones in the adjacent block and the squares will blur.
