"Take a bunch of squares, stack them, slice them, shuffle them"
(Actually I got that quote from the internet.)

When making this quilt, I stacked 10 layers of fat quarters (one stack was red, one stack was green and one stack was the off white color).

I copied the pattern onto freezer paper 3 times, and placed the pattern on pattern on top of the 10 layers of fat quarters.

You cut through the pattern as directed in the instructions.
You shuffle the tree bodies to stacks of different colors (like all the greens were switched out with all the red, and the red trees were switched out with the white trees, and the white trees went into the green fat quarter stacks) If the trees are green the trunks were switched out with white trunks, the red trees have green trunks, and all the white trees have red trunks.

Then ( for the pieces surroundin ght trees...)you start moving the top fabric to the bottom (of one of the pieces) to the pattern. you move around the pattern to the next piece, and shuffle the top 2 pieces to the bottom, the next one you move 3 pieces to the bottom and so on until you get to the last piece where you move 9 pieces to the bottom. Then you proceed to sew the top layer of the fat quarters together. All the pieces on the top layer will be different.

It was pretty easy to do once I got the hang of it.

I kept my pieces in three large new pizza boxes until I got them sewn into blocks.

Hope I have explained a fat quarter shuffle.

Looks like the pattern is out of print. I think it was published in 2008.
