Basically change size: for panelForTextFields. From 350 to 500 for example.
To make code a bit generic I would write something like:
panelForTextFields.setSize(100, 6*80);
where 6 is count of JTextFields.
If we will go further, I would create list of JTextField like:
List<JTextField> list = new ArrayList<JTextField>();
list.add(quiz_1);
list.add(quiz_2);
list.add(quiz_3);
list.add(quiz_4);
list.add(quiz_5);
list.add(quiz_6);
and after would write:
final int GAP = 40;
panelForTextFields.setSize(100, 6*( quiz_1.getHeight() + GAP));
Since you used the same logic to configure JTextfields you can use now list like:
quiz_1 = new JTextField(8);
panelForTextFields.add(quiz_1);
quiz_2 = new JTextField(8);
panelForTextFields.add(quiz_2);
quiz_3 = new JTextField(8);
panelForTextFields.add(quiz_3);
quiz_4 = new JTextField(8);
panelForTextFields.add(quiz_4);
quiz_5 = new JTextField(8);
panelForTextFields.add(quiz_5);
quiz_6 = new JTextField(8);
panelForTextFields.add(quiz_6);
quiz_7 = new JTextField(8);
panelForTextFields.add(quiz_7);
list.add(quiz_1);
list.add(quiz_2);
list.add(quiz_3);
list.add(quiz_4);
list.add(quiz_5);
list.add(quiz_6);
list.add(quiz_7);
for(int k = 0; k<list.size(); k++){
JTextField f = list.get(k);
f.setLocation(0, k*60);
f.setSize(100, 30);
}
final int GAP = 40;
panelForTextFields.setSize(100, 6*( quiz_1.getHeight() + GAP));
