This is interesting. I read just about an hour ago in our local newspaper a tip for removing smoke/nicotine smell from clothing. Perhaps it may be of help for you. It said to hang the garments in the bathroom, fill the tub with hot water, add a cup of white vinigar, close the door and leave over night. I have no idea if this works, but may be worth a try. I have always heard it is best to not send quilts to dry cleaners. Good luck with what ever you do.
