Since it appears that MANY of us have cats, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? The quilt in question is the one in my picture. I appreciate any help!

However, I could never get the smell out of the rug if she happened to use a pile of clothes that was on the floor instead of the basket. As soon as I invested in a covered laundry hamper the problem went away. No more inviting place to use. Anyway, I think by having your husband already pretreating the quilt when you finish it and launder it you should be just fine. To be on the safe side, I'd let the quilt soak for a bit in the washer before allowing it to run the full wash cycle. Before drying give it the ol' sniff test. I think you will be ok. So infuriating. At least it didn't leave a stain. Cat puke on the other hand.... still trying to figure out the magic concoction that will take those stains out.
I am wondering what possessed your kitty to do this in the first place? The car trip I can see, couldn't get to a litter box but this incident hints of another underlying problem. You may want to get her checked out at the vet just to be safe, unless of course she is a vindictive little thing and this is not out of the ordinary for her. In that case I think I would be looking into depends for a cat. ;)

This has happened to me. I've used Nature's Miracle. Soak it really good. It may take a few times but the smell will come out. Then when it's done, a good washing - I add baking soda to the water along with detergent - and it's good as new.

A few years back one of our cats got locked in the spare bed room. This site was not available to me at the time to beg for help.
She peed on the bed. We were getting ready for company to spend a week.
I tossed out a perfectly good mattress. I had no clue what to use to clean out the smell. I ended up buying a new mattress
Not sure what I used to wash the bed linens with.
I was afraid if I tried cleaning it and turning mattress over that they would be able to smell it.

I have not read all 12 pages so forgive me if this is a repeat. I think I would baste it well with thread not pins and wash it with one or more of the suggestions here before going on with hand quilting.
Now to the cat. We had a male cat and his eliminations smelled horrible for years. he was also that cat the if you looked at him wrong he would puke on command. One day he got diareha. We took him to the vet and locked him in the bathroom while we gave him medicine after medicine for three months trying to get rid of the multitude of ailments the vet said he had. After three months and lots of money I got fed up with the vet changing his mind and had it out with him. We switched vets. The new vet said the cat had irritable bowel syndrome and to change his food to a natural food. We chose Natures Choice for sensitive stomachs. In one week the cat was fine and out of the bathroom. THe biggest bonus was no more smelly eliminations!!! Number one and two were practically odorless. He has since died of old age but we do the same with our two new cats and you would never know we had cats. High quality food is essential for odor free cats ownership.

I feed my cats Nature's Variety raw medallions and the smell went away completely. Nature intended for them to eat natural raw; most dry is full of fillers and carbs; don't see cats chasing bisquits across the fields do you? Their digestive systems were just not designed to eat most of the stuff out there. However, I just read an article in "Cat Fancy" about diets and it did say that if they are fed raw you have to make sure they get plenty of ground RAW bones in with the meats because they need the phosphurous to keep their kidneys and bladders from clogging up with crystals. So I bought a big jar of steamed bone meal and sprinkle it on their raw food. Use Primal brand and Nature's Variety for the raw food. What amazes me is that none of my cats like the poultry; favorites are venison and beef and salmon. Oh and rabbit too.
