Take a look at these websites. They both use the same basic reverse applique type of system where you cut out your pattern in black and fuse it to the background; then you cut out the design pieces and fuse them to black fabric leaving a 1/4" space between each piece to simulate stained glass leading. Then you raw edge applique them down. Here's a wall hanging I made for my husband for his birthday last year which came from the first website.
