Had never heard of the yellow, but I love that! Would be great to use 1930's prints with a yellow center. Fun, fun, fun!

I have also read you can use red in the center block to represent the hearth. The log cabin is a great quilt to make. Be sure to keep your blocks square. Its easy to get them unsquare because you are always adding pieces and trimming.
