Some older quilts were made of cotton or fillings that washed away over the years, so a newer quilt will be warmer. Older quilts could also have been made of fabrics that were made of fewer threads, and therefore become what we call "threadbare" over time.
To re-work older quilts, you can carefully separate the layers, and add new batting, or add a new layer to the old quilt, as new backing.

Why new quilt warmer than old quilt?
A quilt feels warm because the air trapped in the cotton or woolen batting acts as an insulator and does not allow the heat of the body to escape. However, when the quilt gets old - the cotton/wool gets compressed and the airspace are done away with. It does not remain as good an insulator to heat as it was earlier. Hence it feels less warm.
