It's possible also that she meant the older/antique paper-pieced quilts, some of which still have the paper inside them but are batted, backed, and bound.

That is what I would think, too as well as the crazy quilts that were made with all kinds of different fabrics--many not washable. They were hung outside to "air out". Can you imagine trying to wash a quilt on a washboard or in the creek?
