Default Organic Cotton Quilting Fabric, Safe Dyes & Finishes, Fair Trade, Etc.

Personally, I'm becoming more and more concerned about the fabrics that I am using for my quilts. While I love to use scraps, especially from old, vintage fabrics, I still buy new fabrics for my projects. Sometimes, when I get them home, the smell of them, alone, just about knocks me out of the house. The dyes and finishes that they use can't always be good for people, or the environment. I would like to use more environmentally sound, socially responsible fabrics. Does anyone here use only organic fabrics? What about fabrics that are dyed with safe, natural dyes and finishes? What about Fair Trade fabrics? Let's open up the discussion!
