Maybe there are glass types that melt at higher temps? You could use them as boarders to minimize the flowing.
@jurban yes there are different COE .. these are 90.. less expensive, more colors, fires at a higher temp. I don’t think different COEs will actually fuse without cracking so that might work.. or using kiln paper strategically placed might be easier because it can be cut predictably.
@Museek
Ah, yes. Different coefficients of expansion will create stress in the materials. But, maybe cooling them down over a longer time will fix that?
If you want to spend a ton of money and start using flat glass, this would be a fun tool to use:

@jurban oooohhh.. I’d love to have one.. I have a cutter and access to Laser cutters but this would be very cool.
@jurban ack! Ten grand?! 😱😭
@jurban I can see that! 😃
I’m going to be doing some enameling soon.. using metal strips but I’ll torch fire instead of kiln fire. I’ve been waiting for the weather to get a little cooler before I experiment. Looking forward to it, though. It’s interesting to see how the glass behaves. I’m keeping a log, now so I can, hopefully, reproduce the better ones. There’s a lot to absorb with thickness, color, flow and melting points
