coopah, I know what you mean as for a while I bought fabric because I liked it. Sometimes it's just a FQ, maybe a yard and then sometimes a 2-3 yard chunk--especially if it was on sale. Maybe you need to find a unifying color to those odds and ends. Use that color to "hold" the differing fabrics together. Take note of patterns you like to utilize your fabrics.
And if there are some fabrics that just don't play well with others. Use them to make purses or piece together with neutrals for backings.
