I saw a neat technique where you would have your sheet of black fabric backed with fusible. The window shapes traced onto the fusible in reverse. Cut out the shapes leaving holes in your black fabric. Then lay the different colours of fabrics needed in behind the holes and fuse them to the back of the black piece. Once everything is fused together finish the edges of the holes on the black fabric with satin stitching or zig zag. This example is if you just use one solid piece of backing fabric but gives you a good idea of what I'm talking about. http://thesewingloftblog.com/how-to-reverse-applique/
