Yes, this is my favourite way, especially if the "focus" fabric is a print with lots of colours in it.
I also sometimes want some contrast or clash, so I "audition" other fabrics against each other.
Sometimes I pull out so many fabrics, I just confuse myself and have to start all over again!! Still, its fun and never boring.
