I feel you. I picked out the fabric I wanted as the main part of my quilt (NO QUILT PATTERN IN MIND - only size). The fabric would work with my stash, I picked the size blocks I wanted for the size quilt that I wanted to make. So then I pulled an old phone book (for the pages), pulled out the pictures of the blocks I would like to try out too. Because I didn't want to get bogged down making the same block over and over, so I only made 4 of each block. I had 6 different styles of blocks picked out (this way I would have ALL of the blocks I would need, but NOT so many I would get tired of making them), this gives me a chance to try different blocks I wouldn't have done because of NOT want to make too many of the same blocks (it also gives you a chance to find out if you like making the blocks and want to do it again or not). When finished with ALL the different blocks, I use my wall to look at the layout. Move them around and use stash fabric to fill in and around. I've made a couple of these (did to twin sized quilts for twin boys, the same colors and blocks but the layout was different for each one - so each boy had HIS own quilt, different than his brothers quilt and mom could always tell them apart). Your extra blocks can make a pillow case out of or swap with other blocks and quilters.
