You should be able to tell where the error occurred from the debug log. If you need to, slap a bunch of debug statements in your code to help.

 

This error generally occurs when you try to reference a field or property on an object when that object is null. For example, if your quot variable is null, then trying to access the Id field, will give you this error.

 

In this case, it looks like your quot variable is not getting set. Since your page is based on a standard controller, the constructor that will be called in your extension class is the one that takes a standard controller. This constructor is empty, so the quot variable doesn't get set.
