Default 19th century "quilted and stuffed"

Over coffee this morning, I was looking at some old quilts in various museum collections (via the Internet of course) and ran into a term I'm unfamiliar with: "quilted and stuffed."

I can see the results, but how did they do that? What's the process, what are the steps, what materials were used? I'm having trouble finding a reference on the web. Anyone know?
