The last few days have been spent primarily in getting ready for this coming weekend when I go away on a quilting retreat. Since I don't want to spend my time there in mundane tasks - like cutting, I wanted to get my quilt all cut out before leaving home.
The quilt I have decided to make next is primarily yellow. First, I chose this because I've always like yellow as a wonderful foil for most other colors so years ago when solids were popular, I bought many yards of my favorite yellow and hoped inspiration would strike. Then I saw what KR did with that color - she made a quilt using yellow that makes my heart lift every time I see it.
That's my inspiration but the pattern I'll be using is different. When ME and I were doing the block-of-the month for our quilt guild, I found a neat pattern to use for the month of February. After making changes, I named it "You're Driving Me Crazy" which I thought was appropriate for the month. Now I am using that pattern for my yellow quilt.
But . . . in this version, I'm not adding white (except as it occurs in patterned fabrics) which has me a bit nervous. I wonder if the quilt needs the white as a break but couldn't find a way to add it .
Oh well, it's a wait and see if it works.
sounds to me like your many yards of yellow is your eye resting color. Anxious to see how this works out!

I heard at our garden club meeting on Thursday that many gardeners won't yellow in their gardens. Too bold, or something. What a loss! It's such a happy color.
