You lost me. Sashiko quilting is done through all three layers, the embroidery version is not of course. The method was originally used for quilting. http://www.quilt.com/FAQS/SashikoFAQ.html
I also found stencils http://www.sewfancy.com/sashikostencils.htm

the design is definitely sashiko, do you think it was done with the newish product texture magic.

if you do the sashiko design with the texture magic under the fabric and then activate it - it should shrink up and provide texture.

On one of the quilting shows they did a technique where you hand or machine quilt through just the top fabric and a layer of batting. Then you cut away the batting from the areas where you don't want the special effect and then finish the quilting by making the sandwhich with the top, regular batting and a back. That makes certain areas really stand out because they have the extra batting. If you don't want to quilt with quilting thread over the same area twice you use thread that melts away when it gets wet for the first quilting.

Oh K...I love that look! I'm going to have to spend some time studying the pic and all the links provided here. Looks like another doll quilt in the making to try something else new!! Thanks for bringing this up :D

See if this could be the product used to get the textured fabric used. This is a shot in the dark. Try it.

I just quilted a quilt with designs on the quilt I thought was smocking. It was done on gingham with white and blue thread. When she picked it up she was delighted and said the blocks were done by her great-grandmother and had squared them put them together for her mother. She called it Texas Chicken Scratching and said there were lots of varities. I had never hear of it.
