In my view, a normal stack has new items put on the top and a down

the top of the stack.
However, in quilt, the push operation is being applied to a series and
the new item is being pushed up onto the bottom of the the series so
an up arrow is the appropriate symbol.
As I see it, "quilt top" returns the last patch applied, so patches are
logically added to the top, not the bottom, for quilt as well.
But "quilt applied" displays the top patch at the bottom :-) and I think
that if you reversed the order it would cause even more confusion.
Especially when you modified "quilt series" and "quilt patches" for
consistency. It's all a bit of a muddle and the best solution will be
to create an icon where it doesn't matter which way is up.
