Is anyone here using different fabric for each block?

I'm using Kaffe Fassett fabrics / around the world so I can often get a couple of blocks out of one piece of fabric because the fabric has areas of solids that are different colors. So the blocks look different even if they are out of the same chunk of fabric. That way it doesn't look like I have any repeats. Oof, that was one of the most confusing sentences I've ever written! I hope it makes sense.
On a related note, I've collected more than 50 pieces of Kaffe fabric and I shudder to think what I've spent on this quilt so far - fabric, software, rulers, freezer paper, Aurifil thread, etc. I even bought a new iron. I'm just ignoring the cost. In for a penny, in for a pound on this project.
