I know one of the quilts had Court House style blocks and one had a different layout for a 9 patch. No matter what I put with the panels, they seemed to work great.
Here are a couple of the quilts that I did before. I would take this panel and cut it apart. I like to have things off center in a way so I would put the main panel in the top left. Add some filler blocks, traditional types to go with the theme of the panel. Then in the bottom right side of the quilt, put the four panels to form the corner. 2 along the bottom, 2 going up the side. I am thinking this would give the four panels more of a close up view with the main panel set to look like it is in the back ground. Kind of the way I see them as they are now. The four small panels are very up close while the barn panel is set back a little. Just a thought.
Just a simple panel with a 9 patch going aroun it all.

Here I used what I believe is a Court House block to filll in the quilt.
