This is pretty much what I do as well. I don't buy fabric for a stash - I'm a project shopper. My mind just doesn't seem to work from the 'fabric to pattern' process as much as it does 'pattern to fabric' process.
I'm not overly drawn to civil war or 30's repro's although I've done quilts with both. While I'm not a 'batik freak', I've done quilts with many of those as well. I've done brights...I've done muted. For me, really just depends on the project at hand.
