    Description

    I don't know if "window pane" is the correct term for this technique.  It is essentially round patches of fabric whose edges are drawn into a bundle and sewn together, not unlike one of those yummy Chinese dumplings that sit on your plate like a plump baby.  Said bundle is then 'flattened' and attached to its mates.
    See in photos where I slipped different colors of paper underneath so that you can see through the holes.  I've seen this one used in a similar manner, where it is laid atop a blanket of a solid color and shows through the holes of the quilt you're considering buying as we speak.
    The primary color is a pale, 'antiqued' yellow.
