Primary children? Then look at the great fabrics inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Eric Carle's wonderful illustrations in other books, especially Brown Bear, Brown Bear are quite easily adapted to applique. Dr. Seuss books have also inspired fabrics as have Beatrix Potter and (I think) Richard Scarry. Panels are available for some of these.
"Google" images for Eric Carle quilts......there are wonderful examples from very simple to very complex.
For older primary children there is Charlotte's Web. Great quilting design: webs.
