Definitely you can use them.. stitch to a foundation , paper, fabric or even the super thin interfacing( the really cheap stuff they sell buy the bolt at Jo'anns). Just be a bit more careful pressing if you go the cheap interfacing route ... its poly. That cheap stuff really is not stiff.

You could also starch or Best Press them and just sew and make your own pattern.
If you have ample $ resources you could use a wash away stabilizer. Then there would be no extra weight in your finished quilt.

I am also an organ recipient but from a cow! I am recovering from heart/cow valve surgery and have always said "Leave my Body to science". Oh, I forgot I also have someones' bone holding my neck together - pieces of me just keep falling apart - 'nuff said.
On to your question, I have found the Medicare book sent by Medicare, to be great for paper backing. Fold one corner down to meet the papers' edge and you have a perfect 8" backing square. ( of course take off the 3" bottom piece)
