    Hi Everyone,

    I enjoyed reading the comments on why don't we see more yellow in quilts. I am requesting you to post your pictures of your quilts with yellow in them so I can see what you mean. I always like to see a little yellow in a quilt but when I try to use it in mine, the fabric feels like a hot potato and I cannot bring myself to cut and use it.

    So, please help me love yellow. Show me your quilts!

    Thanks! My favorite color is blue. ;)

    I love yellow in quilts. I couldn't believe it when I first read that a lot of professional quilt makers never use yellow because it's too hard to use. "What a load of rot" I thought. My psychiatrist tells me I have a defiant nature, so maybe that's why a lot of my quilts have yellow in them. (I'm not crazy, I see her so I stay sane.)

    So many quilts with the idea to use yellow within them. Hope no one minds, I would like to make a quilt similar to the ones I just viewed.

    Awesome quilts! I also cannot "wear" yellow, so for years I had forgotten how much I like the color because I totally shied away from it. Then I discovered that I still love it, just not in my clothing! As color in the landscape, what is more beautiful than a patch of yellow flowers or the yellow leaves of fall? In a quilt, the same... it is a perfect pop of color in so many quilts as you have all proven! Thanks for sharing your pics.

    Here's my bargello work in progress with yellow... which really brightens it up!

    I often use yellow in my quilts. I made a baby blanket with baby blue and yellow that was great. Unforunately until I started on this board I did not think of taking pictures.

    I love a little yellow in my quilts, as well as in my home. In fact, I'm having one wall of my kitchen painted yellow in the next couple of weeks.
