The Yellow Quilt is now a flimsy.
51" wide x 62 long
This 1937 painting by Paul Klee
titled Characters in Yellow
inspired the black inner border for my quilt top
It also inspired the addition of the
Carrie Bloomston newsprint-striped fabric.
Fabric details
The intense narrow inner border
features black-on-black texture
that shows up in real time
but not in photographs.
While not as large as KF's "Rouge"
(inspiration quilt from his book Quilts in Morocco)
I think my version will make a perfect recliner quilt.

So bright and happy. The black inner border really makes a great contrast. Lovely inspiration.
I love the addition of the block, in the border and in the newsprint fabric: it holds all the yellows together beautifully.
This is very nice, Julie. The black is terrific, and I love the newsprint fabric. I've wanted to make a yellow quilt but there's something about it that scares me. You've done a great job!
what a fantastically cheerful quilt! love it!!!
The black is a great touch of contrast. Klee must have been an inner quilter, so much inspiration for us.
Yup, that little black border makes all the difference. Great job!
Bright and beautiful! The black border is the perfect frame.
All that yellow leaves me jonesin' for daffodils... 8)
Beautiful!
This is a beautiful happy quilt. That black inner border makes a gorgeous striking impact. Great choice!
Such a happy quilt - love your colours and naturally the fabrics!
Very pretty - the black inner border really gives such a visual impact.
Gorgeous fabrics, and the black inner border is the perfect touch.
Julie these are great I love it a lot. What a nice selection of yellows. I love the painting you used as inspiration.
Very pretty, and the narrow black border really does something magical.
This quilt is stunning. I particularly like the brownish with blue dot fabric - it adds an unexpected punch!
Congrats! on your newly completed quilt top. I see that you have not yet chosen to claim a new name for this one. I'll be interested to see if that holds once it's done.
I've paged back and forth through your blog--I like how you see color.
