Before I get all about zen and the art of quilting -- I want to take a moment to appreciate our fellow quilters. I get so much energy and ideas from you all that I don't even buy any magazines for the most part. A very talented group of people, and I enjoy seeing the current projects and trends from your pictures and work!
TL;DR -- For my projects or others, we can help you with the names/patterns or construction techniques once you pick something you like and want to do. Sometimes (depending on the scraps) it can be easy to follow a pattern. Other times, not so much.
Or, if you want, you can take pictures of what you have and see if that tickles a "what would I do with that" response.
It can be a hard/big step for modern quilters to break away from following a pattern or design or class, much less making significant changes to the fabric selections -- just changing from says 30s prints to batiks can really change something. From going from the model of "I need 3 yards of this and half a yard of that" to "this is what I have" and "this is what I want to achieve". And then when you add in the amount of Chaos scraps can bring in -- it can be really hard to let yourself go and just put stuff together. Or to not do that and carefully control your results.
Do you have a guild or a couple of either local or postal friends where you can do a block exchange of some sort? That can be a good way to work into scrappy projects.
Some of my projects can be harder to appreciate than others -- but that's ok, I'm enjoying myself and sometimes I'm teaching myself things, or I'm using unwanted things to make something wanted. I feel art should be able to stand alone, but some things need back story -- and a lot of my quilts have story. That's all part of quilting for me.
