Plenty of yellow around here too. I'm planning to make a yellow wholecloth for a friend's baby soon.
Here is the backing fabric (I know, not usual to have a printed flannel as the back, but why not), with a small piece of the fabric that will be the front, and another fabric I was trialling for the binding. Although I may well do a knife-edge to be authentic. I had terrible trouble sourcing that yellow fabric, there really aren't that many yellows around and I had to match it to the owl flannel. I wouldn't have had that sort of trouble with blues, which points out how much less popular yellow is.

The fabric in the plinth is a near-solid metallic gold rather than yellow. It may not stand out, but the goddess' skin is also yellow. Surprisingly, it was a very traditional colour for women's skin in Egyptian art. Mind you, occasionally you would see gods with green skin...
