I have several quilts that are either predominantly yellow or have yellow in them. I find it's a great color to use when used correctly. :D :D |
I don't care for yellow so it is not popular in my quilts.

I use a lot of yellow, and have made at least one quilt where it was the dominant color. I think it really wakes up some designs. I wouldn't say it has to be in all quilts, but it's not a color to be afraid to use. Janet |
I like yellow. but, honestly, haven't even paid that much attention. Will have to keep my eyes open. You are very observant.

type yellow in the search funtion and you'll see that quite a few people here use yellow.

Love yellow myself. Made a log cabin using yellow and purple for my 9 year old GD and it came out so pretty and sunny.

I feel the same about yellow in quilts. I love yellow. But in quilts as in gardens, a little goes a long way. |
Yellow is just not one of my favorite colors. I do think it looks pretty in quilts though.
