Thanks for this post and the link. Does anyone know the yellow fabric, shade and brand, used in the sashing? It seems to be the perfect yellow to set off all these scraps.

Looking closely (I think I am looking at the same quilt) that bright yellow fabric seems to be a tone on tone stripe. This fabric might be a close match, just not striped:

Just by the bye, yellows are often hard to find. There are always lots of blues and greens in fabric collections, but not a lot of "just yellow". I always check the yellow section in any quilt store I am in, looking for good yellows to add to the stash.

I love what Bonnie does, but in this quilt I do not like the yellow as sashing! I think it overpowers the blocks, which tend toward the dark. I'd audition some purples and dark reds for that quilt.

WesternWilson-I’m looking at the Monkeying Around and the yellow looks more like butter, to me, than lemon peel. I really like the lighter sashing, so you can distinguish the darker money wrench blocks. That’s why they say our quilts are all unique because its all how you interpret them. I do,however, respect your point of view or how you like all dark
Here is a close up view of Bonnie’s quilt we are speaking of.

Bonnie Hunter uses a lot of chrome yellow in her quilts. To be honest I had not noticed the yellow in her quilt. Will have to go back and take a look.

huh - sorry all. The link doesnt work anymore and the pattern is gone now, I wonder if she removed it since she is working on something similar? The one she is working on now looks fabulous :)
