Love your quilt

When I first started quilting, I stayed away from yellow. Just not much of a yellow person in what I wear. Now I find that I use yellow a lot in my quilts especially for children as they seem to like bright colors. I find it very hard to find yellow fabrics. Softer yellows are what I look for and so many are not a true yellow.

Also, in psychology, yellow denotes "intelligence". imho, it takes thought, courage, color design, and personal preference use yellow in anything you create. Yellow can get "one's juices" flowing, good or bad...

Well, that must have come down from the Quilt Police. At our last guilt class meeting, we discussed that very thing, and then all promptly put YELLOW in our squares! It is like a little DROP OF SUNSHINE!

That would be QUILT class meeting.. oh my! Time to go home.

Gradually I have learned that yellow often takes the place of a bit of white in a quilt since white can be very jarring at times. Yellow is softer and helps your eye read the quilt without interruption..

I was told by someone who should know that yellow is a difficult color to dye and the dye is quite expensive therefore there is not a lot of yellow made.

I wonder if quilt shop owners/managers sometimes don't order yellow fabrics because they don't like yellow.
There is a car dealer here that only has used cars that are blue because he doesn't like blue cars. He doesn't order any new blue cars.
