Hoppyfrog Walmart carries a real pretty light yellow I think its called Butter Cream it is a very nice fabric I use it an awful lot -I like the brite yellows too they perk up the bedroom when in a quilt The one thing I will miss the most once I am all the way moved is my kitchen wallpaper Its a med/lite yellow with blue flowers :-( I even found dishes to match

I love yellow and use it whenever I can.

When I was a kid yellow was my all time favourite colour...got my Mother to paint my room bright yellow and had an Indian bedspread with yellows, blacks, orange and browns (the day after I moved out my Mother repainted it pale magnolia). When I was 18, put down a deposit and got a mortgage....tiny little wooden worker's cottage opposite a factory, so run-down and decrepit. We worked hard to put it right. All the outside was faded and peeling took us weeks to sand it back...I painted it bright wattle yellow with brown trim. Our friends used to call it the "Banana House". Now I favour purple and of course my alltime favourite black....but still yellow makes me smile.

because a little bit of yellow goes a long way and good way to add sparkle to your quilt!!!!

Once, around the year 2000, I chanced to have a conversation with a manager for V.I.P in Massachusetts.
He said that the color that they manufacture the least amount of is yellow.
He also said that "you ladies all say you want yellow colored fabric - but you don't buy very much of it."

You are right, the combination of yellow and white is wonderful.
Has anyone noticed that yellow is sucessful when it is used with colors as light in hue, or lighter, than it is.

When it is one of a group of pastels, it goes with almost them all.
One interesting combination is yellow, peach and pink!

I love yellow in quilts too, but I find that when I wash yellow fabric it often looks cheap or too thin. I have one piece of yellow fabric that I am dying to find a special project for. It is just gorgeous.

My observation is that some of us (how many I have no idea) see a quilt in a magazine and because we are so impressed with it we try to duplicate it either by purchasing a kit or rummaging through our stash or trying to find similar fabric. I have seen really pretty two color quilt patterns in magazines that are red and white or blue and white and occasionally clear lavender and white but no yellow and white. Perhaps if the designers were to use more yellow the manufacturers would produce more yellow and people would buy it to duplicate the quilts in magazines. Just a thought....
