Do you mean like cheater quilt panels? This place has them they sent out a newsletter last week with lots of them on sale but their regular fabrics are not on the website, only the drapery/upholstry stuff. I'm sure if you call them they could send you a copy of the newsletter. http://www.sirsfabric.com/ They had bolts and bolts of the cheater panels.

On the construction, if you want to do something simple that really looks nice, make an envelope quilt. You can use batting, or not, right sides together sew around the perimeter, leaving an opening, then turn right side out, sew the opening shut, then run 2 rows of stitches vertically to anchor the batting so it won't shift.

I measure the width of the quilt, divide by 3, then sew the lines at the 1/3 mark. So, if the width is 12", divide by 3 is 4", so I sew a line 4" in from the left side and the right side.

It's very simple, it looks nice, you can do it quickly, and they wear extremely well.

Also, on panels, look for pillow panels as well. You can cut them and arrange them on a quilt with borders. Here's an envelope quilt I did using pillow panels.

We have a fabric shop close to my home called Fabric and Foam. They had several of these Spiritual panels last fall but now say they are having trouble finding them anywhere. May need to go back to ebay and see what they have. Basically am trying to use up what I have b4 I buy more...

Michael Miller site has fairies in panels, so maybe they have other suitable panels as well.I make quilts for our palliative care hospital and I use native flower prints - just a suggestion if you don't have success finding panels.

HONEST opinions please you won't hurt my feelings
This is lovely and I would be honored for my family member to be covered in something like this. Hospice is such a caring place to be in the last hours. I had an aunt there and they are so thoughtful of the families. You are doing a great thing.
