I finished the top of the monochromatic quilt challenge. At first, when I heard it was yellow, I thought I didnt have much yellow. So I made the other BABES bread cloths with the yellow. Then I realized I have much more yellow fabric and decided I would try something and see if I had enough. Apparently, I did. Since I am one of those who has another person machine quilt my quilts, I consider myself done except for binding. I know it feels like I cheat by sending it out, but I decided I really like the pattern possibilities for the quilting. With that said, here is journey of the Yellow Quilt.
The final product:
This is what I am thinking of for the back. I know its not yellow but the orange softens the front and it also has yellow and red on it, so which is on the front of the quilt.
The reason I finished so quickly is because I was on Winter Break, then went back to school for two days and have been off with two snow days. While it's been fun staying home, I haven't cleaned much, or even worked on my classes. My students are going to wonder what happened to me!
I have been thinking in fabric! My sewing skills are mediocre but I am still thinking in fabric for the past month.

I absolutly love your quilt! Great job
congrats on your finish, isn't it fun to play along with so many others. I am seeing a lot of good ideas.
I have some of that yellow, gold, red dot but didn't use it for this quilt. I love the backing...good idea!
Love it! Your quilting skills seem perfectly fine to me! LOL.

That is a great quilt! I don't consider it cheating to send the quilt out to be quilted!!
And don't worry about the laundry - it will just multiply *sigh*
Great job! Working with yellows was actually a good way to be cheery this time of year....
You have crossed over to the "dark side" -- thinking fabric is just the beginning! Great Job on your Yellow "TaDaaaa"!
I think your choice for the back is great! Go with it!
This is a pretty quilt. Either backing would be nice but I'm partial to the orange one myself.
Love it Like the fact that it is very cherry. I may have to use your easy blocks on this next challenge as I don't really have violet
It's a very pretty quilt and i don't consider it cheating to have someone else quilt it.
This has been great seeing all the different ideas that people have used.
