I love this response. It's pretty much the way I work, too. I never know what I like with what until I see it. Sometimes it's random and sometimes more controlled.
Either way, I have to stand back and be sure I like the combinations. An inexpensive peephole from the hardware store helps me to see what the combinations look like. A values finder (red plastic viewer) is good for getting contrast into your quilt.
I just found this blog that looks helpful:
