I think it is the wrong sort of yellow to use too much of. It would be good as a highlight or a peeper, but not to be used as much as you suggest. Putting the other colour as the dominant one would tone it down a bit and make it more interesting with the two colours used wisely. The other colours look superb. Please show us the finished work?

I like a little yellow sparkle in every quilt, but too much can be overwhelming. How about putting a small piece of the yellow in each block, then using the tan, or off white for the border. I think yellow border would be just too much, but it needs some of it. A quilt is flat without a little yellow.
