Well, you all inspired me to infuse more yellow into my quilts so I just did. Not much but I'm trying to take baby steps.

I think yellow really makes the other colours pop.

Those are awesome!! I just made this one for my niece. The backing is a soft yellow too.

I have two. The first one I call my excercise in ''Y' seams, which was challenging to learn.
And the second is the 'Loco Log Cabin' which was a lot of fun and the third quilt I ever made. Y seam exercisde [ATTACH=CONFIG]228303[/ATTACH] Loco Log Cabin [ATTACH=CONFIG]228304[/ATTACH] |
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. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5014/...fc09f844e7.jpg Yellow owl wholecloth - right fabric at last by Elettaria, on Flickr More quilts I've made: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2507/...e534656ce9.jpg DSCF2036 by Elettaria, on Flickr http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4029/...265f7466d6.jpg Turtle quilt showing backing by Elettaria, on Flickr http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4146/...038fb67380.jpg Isis quilt final photo 1 by Elettaria, on Flickr 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... |

I always like to see a little yellow in a quilt but when I try to use it in mine, the fabric feels like a hot potato and I cannot bring myself to cut and use it. So, please help me love yellow. Show me your quilts! Thanks! My favorite color is blue. ;) Annie :) |

What beautiful quilts in this discussion!! And such an inspiration with all the different patterns. Here are a few of mine. I LOVE yellow, so use it in almost all of my quilts.

I don't know how I missed this thread! I had to look at every quilt and they're all beautiful. I haven't made any with yellow being the focus color mostly because I don't have much in my mom's stash, but here's a pic of the quilt my great grandma made for my mom when she was a girl. All the flowers are appliqued in and it's a little worse for wear so is currently in a cedar chest waiting for another rainy day to dust so I can pull it out and just look at it before rolling it back up and storing for another rainy day

And here are some of mine...
There is a lot of orange but also a lot of yellow in the sunflowers! [ATTACH=CONFIG]234000[/ATTACH] Orange to yellow batiks. [ATTACH=CONFIG]234001[/ATTACH] Though it looks as if this is orange, it really is yellow!! And the border has yellow squares amid the blue. [ATTACH=CONFIG]234004[/ATTACH] Again, this looks mostly orange though it has yellow as well. [ATTACH=CONFIG]234008[/ATTACH] |
