The hardware store won't cut specific plexiglass shapes for you. At least mine won't.
I do have a scroll saw and I'm going to see what I can do with that and a piece of plexi.
But the edges have to be smooth and I think I'll run into trouble with that.
This is one beautiful quilt......but.....
I learned to work with plexiglass in school. Just carefully cut your shapes just slightly larger (1/32 of an inch or less) then use a sanding block to smooth the edges and 'trim' excess until the size is perfect. When you have the size perfected, use higher numbered grit sandpaper to make the edges smooth. A little work, but they will be perfect because you did it yourself.
