I'm a little curious about something. How do you plan your next project? Do you have a planned project before you buy your supplies? Or does your supplies dictate your project?
For me, I find the fabric that I have in my stash often makes the decision for the quilt pattern. For example, I have some fabric with pirates and to me, the perfect block was the Storm at Sea block. Now I suppose I could have decided on the pattern before shopping for the fabric......but that doesn't seem to work out as well for me. Knowing my luck, I would not have found anything related to the sea that appealed to me. For me, the fabric comes first.
Below are older photos of quilts I made for Project Linus.

I'm back to working on the Kokopeli quilt. I was testing visually on where to place my appliqué. Of course, Dusty had to help me. See that look. He's telling me he isn't moving. Every time I tried to pick him up, he moved to a different corner of the quilt. It took a kitty snack bribe to get him off the quilt. Of course, the other three had to have a snack too. No playing favorites around here!

I'm using an off-black for the appliqué work. I'll use the same for the borders as well.
