try reversing your process...choose a 'focus fabric' from your stash you would like to make something out of, then pull coordinates that go with your focus fabric- then when you see what you have look for a pattern you like that would work with the fabrics you have picked out. think of your stash as shopping at the quilt shop- scraps can be cut into *pre-cuts* and organized into 'charm packs, jelly rolls, layer cakes & fat quarters' then you can choose patterns that use those precuts when you feel you have enough *like 20 fat quarters- for a 'turning 20' quilt* or a good assortment of 2 1/2" strips for a jelly roll race quilt---there are lots of options out there- start with the fabric.
