That's the first quilt I ever saw. When I was a kid, a family friend bought one from an estate sale. Deep rich colors in, as you say, velvet and silk. There was embroidery joining the pieces; I recall gold (color, not metallic) thread on purple velvet. It was sumptuous. The texture of the pile fabrics would keep the quilt from being too slippery, as an entirely silk one would be.
