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.
