The little balloons are appliqued. Did you mean the actual quilting? They must have used a puffier batting than cotton batting which produces a flatter look. It was either a combo cotton and polyester or my personal favorite, wool? 
But how do the balloons get puffy? Are they appliqued after the actual grid-pattern quilting is done?
Either they appear puffy because the quilting around the edge of each balloon makes it look that way (which is the way I'm leaning) or a little extra batting was tucked underneath each balloon.

In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael’s Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:
“My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you’re supposed to do it, The best way you can do it, For the Love of God. Amen.”
