    I agree with Darren and I'll guess it's stuffed with plastic bags.

    There have been quilts on this site made like that and they called them TATW. I have made lots of quilts like that that were called biscuit quilts and stuffed with polyester fiber fil. They are somewhat heavy, compared to regular quilts. I made most of mine in the Irish Chain design.
    I would have guessed they were stuffed with cotton, as in cotton batting.
    It is beautiful and a real treasure, I would use it for decoration and not take even one stitch out of it. Just me.

    I agree witih QuiltE and jaciqltznok; I vote to leave as is because you will never get it to lay flat. I made one of those biscuit quilts back in the 70's. The nylon is also for warmth, but as heavy as you say it is, you probably don't need to worry about warmth, huh? lol Hope you enjoy your quilt as it was originally made.

    Very pretty!

    Just calling it a variation of the trip quilt ought to take care of the name.

    I vote for the Boston Commons type. I saved up nylons for years to do the same thing then threw them out one day, then a few years later made three of these puff quilts using batting.lol

    Beautiful! Please leave it as is. You have a unique beauty. Maybe use it to cover the bed during the day and nicely fold it back rather than sleep under it.
