I like using yellow. I don't have much of it, don't know why, but I'm not afraid to put it in there. |
I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can think of worse colors to avoid. ;-) Here's a LOT of yellow for you. I think this pic is pre-blocking. |
Yellow is my favorite color - but

- I don't use it as much as I'd like. pic is of the current quilt top I'm working on. There is a lot of yellow, but also lime green & orange, too.

I like yellow and I like using it in my quilts. It just seems to bring them to life. I think it really looks good with browns and blues.
|
The quilts all look great. It is amazing that each has yellow but are so different. Yellow is my favorite color yet I don't always quilt in yellow. I guess that will be my next project.
|
All the yellow quilts are gorgeous! Makes me want to start another quilt, with lots of yellow.

[/I] I detest yellow and green, because yellow makes my skin look green & green makes my skin look yellow. So my colors in clothing are red & blue. Think of it as a child's color box. Get a box of crayons or free paint chips from a discount store & play. You've got to have a contrast color, or a complimentary color. When I made a scrappy hand sewn Grandmother's flower garden summer quilt winter-before-last, I finally realized I had to have some yellow, so all my flower centers were a bright, harsh gold. I even had one or two yellow flowers, with the petals a pale yellow print with tiny brown leaves. It worked out great & I love it, after all, it's going on my bed, not my body. As soon as I have 2 min in my day & remember how to upload pics from my digital camera, I'll post a pic.
