If the feed dogs were up and you didn't cut a hole in the paper around the feed dogs, and your stitch length was not set to zero, the feed dogs would have lifted the paper loose from your tape and the paper would have moved along with your fabric as you sewed.
Even if the feed dogs were down, if your stitch length was not set to zero and you had not cut a hole in the paper around the feed dogs, the weight of the quilt sandwich may have pushed the paper down close enough to the feed dogs to allow them to move the paper.

Normally for FMQ you just need a hole for the needle, but I'm thinking parchment paper is not as slippery as Teflon or as stiff as Teflon, so maybe the weight of the quilt in combination with manipulating the quilt for FMQ was enough to pull the paper away from the tape so it moved with the quilt. The feed dogs could have helped it along if the stitch length was not set to zero.
