Yes, although "making the bed" is the broad action of straightening the quilt on the bed, sorting the pillows, tidying the bed in general.
Whereas "folding the quilt" is used when referring to only folding (in half) in order to for example neatly store it in a wardrobe or drawer. It is not used to intent "make the bed" as an action we do every morning.
"I woke up this morning, made the bed, had breakfast and went to work" - this is natural.
"I woke up, folded the quilt, had breakfast and went to work" this is unnatural as one would understand that you folded the quilt and put it away somewhere.
Example sentences with "Folding the quilt"
- "The weather is getting warmer, so I folded the quilt, stored it in the drawer and pulled out a lighter blanket."
"Please show me how to correctly fold a quilt for it to take up as little space as possible."
Hope this helps.

Wow amazing!
I consider “folding the bed” a Chinenglish expression only. I don’t even know it could be a correct phrase for another meaning. Thanks for your detailed explanation ☺️

@pchiii Yes folding the bed must just be a Chinenglish expression, elsewhere it would be taken literally and it would make no sense.
You're very welcome.
