For me, the process is:
1) decide on the purpose of the quilt to be made: ie, baby quilt, gift, for me or no purpose
2) pull fabric collection to work from. The fabric collection is usually tossed in a pile on my sewing room floor and stays there while I am working on the quilt.
3) pick pattern
4) start cutting
5) decide I need another color or another fabric
6) go out and buy more fabric.
I am posting two pictures that are illustrative:
