You see where I am going with this right? That maybe I should just stop thinking and quilt!
I pulled all my yellows, ( oh my - there were a LOT!!) made a plan in my EQ7, and went to town.
And then I had strips left...and so I decided that I really wanted to use them up, because ... if I didn't, then I would have to add them back into my stash - and I really really didn't want to do that!....
So here is the finished Top #1
I have to be honest - it is not my favorite top. The picture does kind of blur it up. But - Wrangler Man likes it..... so it must be okay.
And this next picture is Top Number 2
I like it a LOT better... I don't know really why, but I think it has to do with the contrast.
And now - I am ready to move on to another color!!
Oh, and quilt these!!

I like both of them but I really love the second one!
I like them. But, I had to admit, this would have been a very difficult challenge for me as I don't have much yellow at all in my stash.
You did well! Yellow is not my favorite either, and I LOVE the second one. It is very striking.
You did a great job on "yellow!"
For someone who doesn't care for yellow, you did a very nice job on both quilt tops. I find the first one seems to draw me in for some reason. The second is indeed striking... good work!
both look great but the second on is what I was originaly planning to do. of course I all got don on the yellow was the scraps you sent! what are we working on next? cw
Two tops, wow! I like them both very much, especially with the black accents. You did great!
Wow! I like them both, but #2 is my favorite....
I love the second one, I like that you use a dark color as extra color, makes the contrast stand out
I love both quilts. And you are right, the contrast on the second one really gives is pizzazz.
Both tops look great. But I love the second one best!!
I like them both, but I do like the second one better. Very nice.
I like them both, but you are right. The second one is more visual than the other and that pleases me more.
glen: but, i do like BOTH of them.
Wow! You got two done! Good for you! I love them both! Great job. Very effective use of yellows and contrast. Toni
Great Job! And Double the Fun! I wasn't much on yellow either, however I ended up enjoying the color play.
I like them both but I highly favor top #2. I think you did a great job using a color that challenged you (no pun intended).
Isn't it nice to have a pleasant surprise when you thought you would have a Zonk? Great couple of quilts!
Hope you like violet!
I like yellow but agree that a lot of yellow can be overwhelming. Terrific job you did on both of these. My fave is the first one :)
I love the second one Can I use your idea for my next color? It isn't one I would ever choose so strings might make it possible
Oooo LOve your #2!!
I appreciate them both.. lol ... The first is softer and has definite appeal because of that and the 2nd is bolder, need I say more?!? Great job!! I can't wait to see what you do with Violet!!
COngrats on getting two quilts done - I managed to get only two placemats - but i had a small stash of yellows.
I do like #2 the best.

Wow finishing two yellow quilts, they both look great but I do think the second one is my favourite. You must have had a lot of yellow in your stash, I didn't think I had much but surprised myself when I looked, I had a lot more than I thought.
Both are really lovely, but the 2nd one is striking in the contrasts with the dark and light! Beautiful!!!!
I love this color combination
