My first quilt was a blue/yellow log cabin. I was really off the wall and wanted to do scrappy and sometimes I felt like I had 3 heads because of that. A lqs person told me to be careful with yellows, it would overwhelm the quilt. I didn't listen to her, I thought it would be gorgeous. It was, in my opinion. I have it put away, but this is what I did with the extra blocks & towels for the bedroom.
I always use yellow and look for it everytime I shop. Bonnie Hunter has a stunning quilt in her book. It''s made with 1 1/2" strips that are cut up and re arranged, but yellow and red are her WOW colors in a dark quilt, with some other lights. It's called Perikonean Dreams. On my bucket list.
