Not Char nor with her many qualifications, but I have a couple of 'not yellow' daylilies with sculpted relief that I really enjoy. Speaking of Gene Tanner (many of his are available via Browns Ferry Gardens)

And I do have Gene Tanner's 'Dixie Dazzle'

Another 'not yellow' sculpted that grows well for me, Embellished Pink (which actually had 3 proliferations last year).

The first one, Dixie Dazzle, doesn't look sculpted to me. Your comment "the petals are sculpted to look nearly quilted" in the NGA database also points to this. Sculpted relief has an embossed or carved appearance with raised ridges on the petal surface. Sculpted relief does not resemble quilting. What could resemble quilting is heavy substance with deep set veins. Another clue that it is not sculpted is the hybridizer, Gene Tanner who has registered Sculpted forms, apparently didn't observe or register it as a Sculpted form.
