The answer
QUILT
What quilt means
A bed covering made by stitching together layers of fabric with padding in between, often decorated with a patchwork pattern or quilted design.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English quilte, borrowed from Old French quilte, which comes from Latin culcita meaning "mattress" or "cushion." The Romans used this word for padded bedding, and it passed into Old French as the fabric arts spread through medieval Europe. English adopted the word to describe a bed covering made by stitching layers of fabric together—essentially a padded covering much like that ancient Roman mattress.
