I have been thinking about making a yellow quilt for a while. Monochromatic color quilts is a challenge. I would like a whole series. So, maybe start with the color yellow?
I decided to have a go using 2.5" strips, both long and short. Stash and scraps. Starting with a few Kaffe Fassett and adding on....
The top came together fairly quickly. You can do this in a jelly roll race technique. I used my design wall to have better control over the color (hue and value) distribution. The top is 60" by 75". And needing a infill patch in the bottom jagged line. Maybe you spotted it?
Top catching the early tuesday sun rays... Wish you a sunny day, too!

What a gorgeous burst of colour. Our sun has disappeared again but your quilt has such optimistic colours
Hei!! Liker ideen om å lage quilter i en farge!!Eller en farge er vel ikke helt sant:-) Likte at det tverrstripete stoffet har en helt konkret skillelinje på midten!!
Har akkurat bestilt billetter til london. Skal se Kaffe Fasett utstillingen.......Ak:-)
My son asked me to make him a yellow quilt. He called it a quilt of sunshine, and said he wanted to use when he brought a girlfriend to a picnic or fireworks. I made it for him and it was gorgeous, but I don't think it will ever touch the ground. I love your yellow quilt. I have also made all red, all blue, and all green quilts. I love the challenge they provide.
That's so beautiful and sunny! I didn't used to like yellow and now I start to love it - especially mix like that! x Teje
It's super pretty Marit - I love the idea of a monochromatic strip quilt - you must enter this in Rachel's string Attack Challenge which has just started :)
Brilliant! Those stripe pieces really give it pizzazz.
This is so pretty! A nice welcome to the sun which seems to have been missing for longer than usual! Take care, Byrd
I love the vibrant yellows! The quilt just feels warmer to me looking at it with those cheery fabrics.
Love it! There is nothing so beautiful as simple strips sewn together like yours.
Beautiful. Love all those yellows.
I love with! I love yellow, so of course I would :)
Love your quilts!
Wow! I love this quilt! I've been wanting to make a monochromatic quilt too. Maybe I just got my inspiration.:)
So bright and cheerful! I'm inspired to make something yellow now!
your sun ray catch is awesome! and the quilt is lovely, too.
How fun! Monochromatic is always a good look. You'll have to start work on the next in your series now =)
Very sunny! I found you through Rachel's String Festival and am a new follower. I like the idea of a series, each quilt in a different monochromatic color. Wish I had the time for something like that. Have fun with it!
