I always like to think outside the box, or in this case - around the circle!
I saw this pattern "Pacific Sun" and fell in love with the modern look and different take on the Hop theme.
I wanted a smaller and simpler version and hit the scraps. I used one of my sandwich plates to make my circle - high tech stuff right there. Simple straight line quilting is a favorite of mine and works so well with this. The binding was pulled from the scrap binding drawer. I even pieced two pieces of batting that were trim off pieces from a recent quilt finish.
Even the backing was a piece that I brought home from the last guid meeting's freebie table. I need to cut a dowel to size - the corner tabs are 3.5" squares pulled from by barrel system. Love when all the scraps play nice when I'm creating for a HOP.

Lovely choice of fabrics, and corner pieces for the dowel.A stunning choice.
The piece is calm and gives the feeling of peaceful beauty. Using scraps makes it even sweeter. Thanks
That sun reminds me of a women who used to blog and she made so many wonderful quilts using circles and geometric shapes and lots of quilting. Your quilt is very artsy and nicely done! Her blog was The Quilting Edge by MariQuilts. She is on Instagram now.
Your quilt is a reminder that less is more sometimes. It really brings a calm to the soul, when you see it. I love your "tools" for creating it too. LOL!! I find plates very useful in my tool bag at times myself.
Your Pacific Sun is gorgeous. I love projects that can help make a dent in all those scraps!
An unexpected choice from you. Always good to keep people on their toes. I hope you enjoyed the fall-like weather as the heat will be back later today.

Love it. It looks like the horizon during a beautiful sunset.
You chose the perfect fabrics for this pretty quilt. I love the design and your quilting is perfect for it. It is beautiful, Sharon! Thanks for sharing!
I love the 'sun' you created - the purples catch a sunset, I think. The quilting was inspired. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful "sun"! What a great use of your scraps!
Beautiful quilt. The colors are stunning. Thanks for sharing!
Very innovative. It is amazing how often plates come in handy when quilting.
Great project and I especially love the colours you've chosen.
Beautiful. love the straight line quilting.
Your little quilt is adorable and so colorful. now I want that pattern.
Neat piece and I love the colors you used, and your straight line organic quilting is fabulous. Here in Michigan, warm, cold, warm, hot, cold, warm....Today it is hot. Sigh!
I love the modern feel and love that you used a plate for a pattern. Plates are a favorite tool of mine for sure.
I love this take on the colors of the sun. Your scraps worked perfectly, and the straight stitch for this design is perfect. It's great when a plan comes together
That is a great design for the theme!
Another beautiful little quilt! Thank you for sharing 😉
That's a very cool project! Love the colors! xx
