Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'quilted' (fabric with stitched layers) modifying 'bedspread' (a decorative cover for bedding), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer a bed covering made like a quilt. This modifier+noun compositional pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, making the expression immediately comprehensible.
Etymology
The noun quilted bedspread comes from the idea of a thin quilt: layers of cloth and soft filling are sewn together in a repeating pattern. That's why a quilted bedspread means 'a thin, padded bed covering' that looks decorative and helps keep the bed warm.
