Are you thinking of the one from the MQX show posted here:

On that one the artist quilted the quilt like a wholecloth then went back and "painted" the hummingbirds with a special colored pencil. Her name was Irena Bluhm and here is a link to her website. She may have a pattern for it there and the tools needed to do the painting.
