    I am sorry and I'm laughing with you! That is horrible. I can just picture the cats, with a terrified expression on their faces, running from the quilt. Sure hope it gets better.

    I had heard and seen alpaca batting for sale, but never bought it. Now I think I will not. Hopefully, the smell will dissipate at some point.

    I cracked up laughing after picturing your cats running from your quilt. The quilt is lovely!

    This is one of those posts that I read all the way through. Your quilt is very pretty. Can I have it since I hate ( sorry strong word - will use dislike ) cats?

    It took several days for the quilt to dry completely, but not that it is dry it smells fine...my cats still will not go near it though..I think I will make a table runner as mentioned above. That is a perfect solution to keeping the kitties off the table. One not the Alpaca batting does not cringle so if you do not like the cringle look this batting is for you...though you can not dry it in the dyer. I did use the wool setting on the washing machine and that worked fine.
