I agree with you completely about the weight of the quilt. I have had more than my share of surgeries,12, and at times couldn't stand anything touching me.
I haven't decided on the batting or backing at this point. I might use flannel for batting as it is light weight but warm too. I use that in rag quilts and love it. Right now I am on brain overload deciding which way to go with the front. LOL

[quote=QuiltnCowgirl]Here's links to some panel quilts I found using the search function (just put in the word 'panel') Hope these give you some ideas.
Thank you very much. I did do a search but didn't put in just "panel" :oops:

I would frame the larger panel and use the 6" smallers as corners with the 2 remaining as centers in the pieced border (4-patch, 9-patch, etc.) I would use sashing around each of the pictures, with a corresponding sized border. The only thing is that you will really need to be good in your calculations to get them to come out.
