Question Do you break up Fat Quarter packs or make one main quilt from it first?

I realized I tend to hold onto Fat quarter packs to make one main quilt before I will break it up.

Even then I will try and hold them together with like fabrics of the same designer, batiks, modern, brand or time era like 1930 or Civil War.

Overall this works but I also find it contributes to over buying and or holding onto fabrics for that perfect quilt.

What do you tend to do? Break it up and add a little of the new fabric to freshen up older fabrics or like me tend to hold onto the whole Fat Quarter pack till you made a quilt out of it. Are those nice coordinated Fat quarter packs standing in your closet waiting for that quilt that doesn't seem to happen?
