Default applique window help? Windowless wallhanging??

Hello I have a pattern that is an old Italian village and I would love to do it ... my problem... Well there are a lot of windows in the village and I am not doing well, I tried to cut small rectangles and squares and top stitch them and zig zag. They did not look polished enough for me- by that I mean they looked TACKY.

I then thought that I would make slits with a underlay so that I could slit the fabric, press it back and have the black window pane behind it, Nah still didn't look good.

So I am turning to you , perhaps you have a great method for me, this is to be a rustic village and the zig zag was just too heavy for it, Perhaps someone has some advice or tips, that don't involve a stiff drink?

Thank you so much
jane
