Jenny from MSQC has a video on using panels -

She doesn't mention that one of the problems with panels is that they are often printed off grain, making it harder to cut out the rectangular sections. Hopefully yours doesn't have that problem. Books have problems dealing with panels because there are so many possibilities in the size and design of the elements in the panel. Basically, just find some fabrics that coordinate and use your imagination.
