Thank you so much ladies for your supportive comments, for some reason or other I was a bit undecided about the yellow but now I am so chuffed that I used it as it is going to be a much nicer quilt than I originally thought. It is growing quickly as I am making 2 other quilts, Sweet Caroline, which doesn't lend itself to a lot of chain peicing so it was a perfect oportunity to do a leader/ender project with my shoebox of 2" squares. The yellow was a good choice as well because there are a lot of white 2" but not a lot of yellow so it highlights the blocks quite well.
I do think Bonnie Hunters original pattern
