I see some very creative (way beyond any of my imagination) quilts up here and can't for the life of me figure out how they were conceived. :-)
I sketch out what I want for my pattern, then take it to graph paper or sometimes just decide what size an piece should be. I'm assuming you are doing squares, triangles and rectangles.
