I have been sewing since I was in high school, and made aprons and other simple items before that. After learning how to follow a pattern, I made 90% of my clothing for years and years. Then I moved on to crocheting, knitting, all kinds of various crafts, from ceramics to dried flowers, etc., etc., and then I discovered quilting. I made all kinds of stuffed dolls, with a focus on Raggedy Ann dolls, and when my daughter was born, I made clothes for her as well, plus curtains, etc., etc. I may go back to some of those from time to time, but I love to quilt, wall hangings, kitchen items, quilts, bags, etc. Do whatever pleases you, and don't feel that you have to use up every scrap of your fabric in the next year or two. Sometimes fabric has to age, like fine wine, or so I'm told. In the last couple of years I have not been able to quilt for a variety of medical reasons, and I literally went into withdrawal, so I quilt, therefore I am; but I do it because I love it and so should you.
