However, I do see the draw if you're making quilts for babies or people with low immune systems or you just worry about this issue. I know many people make their own cloth diapers and are using organic hemp fabric for that. So, there will be and is a market for organic cloth.
I realize it's all about the processing and everything, but I think people are going overboard with all this, unless they and theirs live in a bubble, they will run into undesirable things. Just seemed crazy to me to spend that much for fabric which will probably be washed in non organic detergent sooner or later!
