I have done a couple of "panel quilts" and I had success using pinwheel blocks with them. She could use Jenny's (Missouri Star Quilt Company) video showing how to get four 1/2 square triangles out of a square block. I make mine smaller than the panel and then add sashing to make it fit the panel. Personally, I love pinwheels so that is what I do.
