Default multi-layer quilted wall hanging.

I saw a wall hanging where the lady had put 4 layers of different colored batik material. She pined it to keep layers from sliding and began stitching wavy lines across the material both left and right and up and down.. it was not even or laid out even... very random and really sort of artistic.. After sewing the multi-layers together.. She then selected some of the areas between lines (odd shaped areas.. and cut thru different layers.. The top was a blue blend, down two layers to reveal the goldish material. On another selected area, maybe down just one to the red layer. maybe the bottom might be green.. she then using long then strips, she fused on top what looked like long grass over the blueish top... and then appliqued cartoonish fish... the cut out areas revealing different marbled fabric looked like rocks or uneven floor of the ocean.. the seaweed around some of the fish.. it was really neat.. Does anyone know what the method could be called.. the random stitching added so much to it.. .
