When you ask how many panels you would need, do you mean how many layers? And why do you want to use panels? Is this for a baby quilt or toddler quilt? I can't imagine making a large quilt with this technique. I do not believe you use batting in a chenille quilt; the many layers of fabric create enough weight and warmth on their own.

here's a tut of sorts showing how to do this and the panel pattern still shows just fine. http://www.moores-sew.com/blog/cheni...panel-blanket/

I made one a few years ago using panels, I think I used 3 panels and flannel for the backing. It has been a long time so I'm not positive, but it can be done and it is really cute. I cut it on the diagonal so when it frayed it gave it a diff pattern.

Try it .... you just may like it!
I have seen them done with five panels ...... and one they used seven.
They were so cuddly and beautiful.
