Piece in a sewing project (5)

I believe the answer is:

panel

(Other definitions for panel that I've seen before include "Group of people chosen to judge, discuss etc" , "Flat board; committee" , "Quiz team; part of door" , "Instrument board; investigating group" , "Judging committee" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
