I am not a big yellow fan, but........I have to say I really like the ones you picked out. So maybe I am a yellow fan after all. Don't have a suggestion for you just wanted to say what pretty ones you got. Love the yellow and blue. You did get some good suggestions. Be sure and show us when you are finished. BrendaK

Those are beautiful! I'd have fallen for them too and I'm not that big on yellows! I'd go for a bargello I think. Maybe with some lighter yellows as well, down to a creamy type colour? You could add another colour into the mix, but I think it could work with just yellowy tones.

I think these fabrics would make a pretty string quilt with the turquoise blue in the center diagonal position and the rest in color order light to dark. You would get a pretty diamond pattern with the blue lattice line throughout.

The golds to yellow orange fabrics are just beautiful. If you wanted to pick up more in that color family & maybe some browns, taupe or other neutrals, that could look really stunning ... like a summer sunshiny day hanging clothes on the clothesline with the grass beneath your feet.
Or else pick up more shades of blues like another poster suggested.
I don't think I'd go with the chartreuse at all, but if you really want it, maybe add some true yellows & some yellow greens in with it so it doesn't stand out so much. If you go with that, you could do a split analogous color scheme by adding in some blue-violets (instead of the light blue) to contrast the orange-yellow-green blends.
