A quilt has several layers while a blanket has only one.
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.
Most likely a blanket but it depends on what kind of material the blanket/quilt is made out of.

The main thing that people purchase from a quilt shop, is a quilt. A quilt is a blanket made out of patches of designs. They are very unique and can fold into a pillow.
Depends on how heavy the blanket or quilt is. But generally cotton is considered to be a cooler fabric as it "breathes". Vellux is a synthetic fabric that tends to hold body heat.

Some people call quilts, blankets. But a quilt means that there is a top and a back with batting in between the 2 layers. They are quilted ( sewn ) together, or tied together, holding the batting in place. A blanket is usually one layer of fabric.
When translated to English, the Dutch word dekbed means a quilt or duvet. A quilt is a blanket or bed covering, traditionally made of 2 layers of woven material with a layer of batting in between.
