Not a popular color for who? I use it all the time and so do many others around here.

I'm with Meldoy WB! I wasn't a big fan of yellow until I saw how it can brighten a quilt and give it movement. I still don't make quilts that are mostly yellow, I like to use it like you would seasoning in cooking. A little dash adds the flavor

Personally I can't stand the color yellow. My Mother had to have everything yellow and I got sick of it when I was growing up and swore I'd never use that color in my home.

As I have grown older I have relented a little about the color yellow. I have introduced it into my quilting just a little bit.

My husband is a painting/decorating contractor and says that the pigments to make yellow paint are more expensive than most other colors. Maybe that affects the usage in fabric dying too.

I have a LOT of perennial flower beds and lean very heavily on blue/pink/purple/white, the cooler tones. I'm not a fan of orange flowers at all and also orange/red and yellow/orange. I have a few bright light yellow flowers scattered here and there and it does 'pop'. Ithink it just made it's way over into my quilts but I absolutely love the blue and yellow quilts. I made 3 sets of blocks for the 'In the Garden' swap and my favorite is the yellow/blue. In fact, if I had enough material for a quilt I would of kept them for myself and made a quilt. :) Go figure!!!

I love purple green and yellow in quilts. When I look thru all the quilts I have they all pretty much have yellow in them somewhere and in varying degrees.

Just finished a Yellow Brick Road quilt with blue and yellow and love it! I much prefer working on bright cheerful colors!

I think yellow goes with a lot of colors, I love yellow and purple,yellow /brown,yellow/black,yellow/red etc. Ilove yellow and blue.

I love yellow and I think it improves most quilts...just have to get the right shade. My favorite shade of yellow is a soft buttery-pale gold color. I think with most colors it is a matter of shade.

Just recently I made a quilt using yellow and orange. Although it seemed pretty bright, I guess it was just a change from my usual palette that made me wonder about my choice. It really did look nice, so hopefully I'll try to incorporate it into more quilts in the future.
