Do you find the pattern first? That was the first thing I did.....love this picture from the cover of Ellen Pahl's "PINWHEEL Party."
Next, I made my fabric selection from my stash. Not exactly as Ellen's picture, but quite the color blend to suit me.
Then, I made pinwheels/windmills: 18 pinwheels to make my windmill rows for this 40" x 46" quilt top. All stitched up and ready for the quilter.

Great quilt. I just love the look of the outside border floral. The fabric combinations look great. I tend to start with a pattern but sometimes novelty type fabrics have to just be created into something tailor made so I search for an idea to suit the fabric.
