a blanket that secretly hoarded your grandmother's entire fabric memory in coded geometry.
means A bed covering made of two layers of fabric with padding sewn between them, often stitched in decorative patterns.
from From the Old French 'cuilte,' which came from the Latin 'culcita,' meaning a mattress or stuffed sack. So the word began life flat on the floor as something you lay upon, and only later climbed onto the bed to become the layered, stitched comforter we know — the padding (that 'stuffed sack' core) was always the point.
