I’ve never been a yellow person. Blues, reds, lavender, and even the occasional green or brown, but never yellow. Kaffe Fassett has changed all that for me. I found these two fabrics on the left and decided they should become the border and sashing of a scrappy quilt using a variety of his fabrics cut into 6″ squares.Ā I then began collecting the scraps and laid them out to see how they looked together.Ā I’m pleased and I’m ready to begin stitching. My tastes seem to be totally changing as I approach my 80th birthday. What a surprise!

Beautiful fabrics! I would love to see the final project!!
Thank you, Kathleen. I love these colorful Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I’ll post a picture of the finished quilt as soon as I get the binding on. It’s very yellow! If you signed up to follow my website, you’ll get a notice when it’s posted. Thank you for stopping by. Carol
Wonderful, vibrant colors! I’m a yellow person, Carol. Love to wear it but always a little worried about decorating with it. Your quilt is making me rethink that!
It all started with a water color I found in an antique shop. It was the first yellow to come into my house….so then i needed more since my entire house was decorated in Thimbleberry! This is quite a change for me, but I have plans for more. Thanks for keeping in touch Wanda. Carol
I love the colors. Lately I have been drawn towards yellows.
I’m seeing more yellow being used lately. Perhaps it’s becoming more popular. We quilters go through phases, don’t we? Thank you for dropping by my website. Hope to hear from you again soon. Carol
I also have recently discovered Kaffe Fassett and fallen in love with his many jewel toned prints. This is going to be a lovely quilt and I look forward to seeing your finish on this one! š
Thanks for your note, Lynda. I’m having a great time with this one. The fabrics are so cheerful! My plan is to update my very bland living room with Kaffe Fassett table mats and throws and eventually a wall hanging. Carol
Love the polka dot fabric! It’s interesting, but I don’t have very much yellow in my stash. Glad to see you bringing it to the forefront. The size of the blocks and setting them on point gives Kaffe’s fabric an air of sophistication. Can’t wait to see the finished project!
Robin, I got the idea from his latest book, “Quilts in Ireland,” a really beautiful book. His blocks are twice as big as mine and done in reds. I’m having a great time working on this. Thanks for commenting! Carol
Your combination of fabrics, for the blocks, sashing, and border is fantastic! I am glad to see you come out of your crayon box! It looks sunny and happy!
Thank you, Paula. I’m eager to see the finished quilt. I’ll post it when it’s done. This is exciting — A new path!

Thank you, sister. I am enjoying working with the fabrics — they are ‘happy’ pieces!
I love the color combinations! And yes, your tastes have changed! But everything you do is beautiful!
Thank you, my dear friend. I’m enjoying the fabrics…so bright and joyful.
“I” LOVE yellows & oranges…feel free! š
I’ll remember that!
