i don't know where you came up with that assumption???
around here i see lots and lots of yellow...
and in our little sewing/quilting group we have one lady who has been actively quilting for over 50 years---according to her- it's not a quilt if it doesn't have at least a piece of yellow somewhere---she really loves yellow in quilts- and makes FABULOUS ONES!
so...
maybe in your neighborhood they do not use yellow???
typed yellow quilts into the search engine- over a hundred pages to look at....
personally- not a yellow person- but have included yellows when they were needed- i'm not quite convinced that every quilt should have a little yellow :)

I love yellow too, but it's a very strong color that draws the eye. I think that's why many quilters use it sparingly in their quilts (when they use it at all) so it doesn't overwhelm the overall look.

I have several quilts that are either predominantly yellow or have yellow in them. I find it's a great color to use when used correctly. :D :D

I sure don't think so. I tend to work on it faster if it's in cheerful colors and it sets my mood for the day!

supposedly, yellow is the first color your eye sees when looking at a mass of color...

I love yellow and orange for quilts.

I don't use much yellow because a too bright yellow can make a statement in a quilt. Yellow is not one of my favorite colors so maybe that is why I don't use much of it.

says who?

Perhaps I should have phrased the question differently ....yes, I see a blotch of yellow here and there in quilts but if you look at the quilts overall it's almost never the dominating color. The reason I asked was because I did an old timey Butter and Egg quilt for my daughter, on point, with a white background and a single, repeated, patched block of yellow with small,white polka dots alternating with a white square in which I quilted flowers. The border , also, was white with quilted vine and leaves and it was so stunning it just made me wonder why I didn't see something of that nature in most of my many, many quilt books and magazines is all.

I use a lot of yellow in my quilts and tablerunners and toppers. I LOVE yellow!
