A quilt is an item made of surfaces, just like a household quilt is made of patches of fabric. A single surface is still a surface, but a group of joined surfaces is a quilt.

Operators that can be applied to a quilt will also often apply to a single surface, except a single surface can't be solidified because it can't join its edges to enclose a volume. A single surface can be thickened to make a solid, but that is not the same as solidifying around an enclosed volume.

The term is a holdover from the patchwork quilt. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TyIWjZXP-yc/UAWv5DOlFUI/AAAAAAAAHEM/14-h-o3_hX8/s1600/20120717+Patchwork+quilt-2.jpg
