so...
maybe in your neighborhood they do not use yellow???
typed yellow quilts into the search engine- over a hundred pages to look at....
personally- not a yellow person- but have included yellows when they were needed- i'm not quite convinced that every quilt should have a little yellow :)

I love yellow. I remember when I worked at LQS the owner and ladies working there said don't use 'too much' yellow in a quilt because it 'takes over' a quilt. So I didn't get much yellow. After a while I realized I like yellow and will put as much of it as I like in my quilts. :-P

I love yellow...and have used it in quilts...yellow and green...yellow and purple...it is a great color...I have had a picture for years of a yellow and white 2 color quilt that I want to make...one of these years I will get going on it...have to find the right yellow, and I don't usually go with white, so will be muslin...someday!
