Litacats, did you have a pattern or just make it up? And, if you had a pattern, would you share it?

I cannot claim the making of this I found it on pinterest and shared it and a lady asked if anyone new how to make it, I wasn't sure if it was the catherdral window or not so I posted it here and asked the question, however I think it would be easy to make and as someone else posted you could use other patches too. I think I will be making a few of them in different patterns.

I can tell you how my ancestors would have made it. Cut a square out of paper. Find a saucer or glass that fit from corner to corner. Draw four arcs using the edge of the dish. Cut out the pattern, then add 1/4 inch seams. Have fun with it.
