from Merriam-Webster http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quilt
": a bed coverlet of two layers of cloth filled with padding (as down or batting) held in place by ties or stitched designs"
Notice it doesn't even mention the type of cloth.

sometimes in museums i have seen whole cloth quilts that are two pieces of fabric, no bat.
they were just to show off stitching (and my oh my do they!)
