Where I live cotton fields are all around. The few farmers that do grow a field of organic cotton say the chemicals allowed for organic are much worse then the regular ones for the soil. I think the manufacturers and the government and the growers should at least be on the same page about just what organic really is. The cotton is grown organic with the chemicals that are labeled for organic growing so the manufacturers can truthfully say the cotton is grown organic. Chemicals aren't organic. So many jump on the bandwagon not knowing where it's been.

I refuse to pay that much a yard. This is PC gone nuts. And we are being pulled into the black hole! I support the environment but I want to be able to afford to buy my gas, heat my house and if I want to use plastic bags!

When I think of my grandmother quilting, I laughed at that material price. All her quilts were made from handmedown clothes from the family, coats, blankets, etc. If she wanted fancy material for an added touch, she went to rummage sales. All of her six children and 20 grandchildren had quilts made this way, from her. She would think this was such a waste of money. Would never be in my stash either, main reason being, the quilt would be so pricey, I'd never even put it on a bed.
