From the front then it looks like a window. Then I cut a piece of the yellow fabric and from the back I put a small bead of Elmer's school glue onto the very edge of the curves all around the window. I placed the yellow face down and ironed the glue in place. Then the yellow was exactly in place. I was able then to separate the seam and sew right on the folded line on each curve. It came out perfect.
Very pretty block. I hate to admit that I don't understand how you did it though.
