You need to decide first how large you want the finished quilt to be. Then you need to square up your panel, be aware that panels are rarely printed on straight of grain. so just square it up as best you can. This usually involves trimming a bit off all four sides of the panel.
Once you have done these two things you can do it as simply as just putting successive rounds of fabric on your panel, like solid borders until it is up to size, or you can build it up to size by adding borders of pieced blocks round robin style like I did with this panel quilt:

I started with that narrow strip of black to get a size evenly divisible by the block sizes I wanted. I should note that you don't have to have the rounds be the same dimensions. On this one the black top and bottom strips were narrower than the side strips. Then I drafted the two different tree blocks, one for the sides and a different one for top and bottom. Then another strip of fabric (the leaf print, again this strips of leaf print were wider on the sides and narrower top and bottom) then a row of log cabin blocks, then a wide strip of the green fish fabric, then the pieced fish blocks finished off with the blue fish fabric.
Your options are limited only by your imagination.
