I make a lot of samplers, for just this reason. Sometimes, I limit myself to specific fabrics (e.g., a bundle of coordinating fat quarters) or even specific color families (e.g., pink and brown scraps). As you will see in the "Dear Jane" quilt above, the blocks are arranged in "Trip Around the World" fashion.
Here's one I made a few years ago from "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler":
