Looking closely (I think I am looking at the same quilt) that bright yellow fabric seems to be a tone on tone stripe. This fabric might be a close match, just not striped:

Just by the bye, yellows are often hard to find. There are always lots of blues and greens in fabric collections, but not a lot of "just yellow". I always check the yellow section in any quilt store I am in, looking for good yellows to add to the stash.
I love what Bonnie does, but in this quilt I do not like the yellow as sashing! I think it overpowers the blocks, which tend toward the dark. I'd audition some purples and dark reds for that quilt.

WesternWilson-I’m looking at the Monkeying Around and the yellow looks more like butter, to me, than lemon peel. I really like the lighter sashing, so you can distinguish the darker money wrench blocks. That’s why they say our quilts are all unique because its all how you interpret them. I do,however, respect your point of view or how you like all dark
Here is a close up view of Bonnie’s quilt we are speaking of.
